Management of skin sarcoidosis with minocycline monotherapy.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A 46-year-old woman with severe skin sarcoidosis, mainly on the back of the trunk, persisting for >15 years, was followed up without systemic treatment. In 2014, she was started on minocycline monotherapy owing to worsening of the skin sarcoid lesions. Surprisingly, after approximately 1 year of the monotherapy, nearly all skin lesions resolved with only light residual scars, despite the poor efficacy of the monotherapy for pulmonary sarcoidosis. The patient's serum angiotensin-converting enzyme levels also decreased to the normal range. The presence of Propionibacterium acnes was confirmed when a retrospectively immunostained epithelioid granuloma, obtained from skin biopsy, demonstrated staining with monoclonal antibodies specific for
