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
backgroundCurrently incidence and prevalence of sarcoidosis are increasing. Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous lung disease of unknown aetiology, which is characterised by the involvement of different organ systems, variable disease course affecting young people and possessing an important issue in the modern world. The disease is extremely heterogeneous with an unpredictable clinical course. Interesting clinical cases are described in which, with a sufficient illustration of the stages of the course and diagnosis of sarcoidosis of the lungs and peripheral lymph nodes, the diagnosis was difficult. Late diagnosis and lack of correct therapy make prognosis in patients with lung sarcoidosis unfavourable.
aimTo conduct a morphometric study with the determination of the cellular composition of granulomas for the differential diagnosis of morphogenesis of granulomas in sarcoidosis and pulmonary tuberculosis. MATERIAL AND
methodsAn analysis of transthoracic biopsy of 89 patients with a verified diagnosis of sarcoidosis of the lungs and disseminated form of pulmonary tuberculosis was carried out. The resulting lung tissue material was carried out according to the standard histological method; conducted morphometric analysis.
resultsSarcoid granulomas are characterised by an increase in lymphocytes, indicating the immune character of the lesion, an increase in fibroblasts, fibrocytes, and signs of activation of angiogenesis. While for TB granuloma an increase in the number of granulocytes and epithelioid cells is characteristic. These morphological criteria for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis of the lungs and lymph nodes are necessary for use in the practice of pathologists to verify the clinical diagnosis.
conclusionDeveloped morphological and morphometric criteria for the differential diagnosis of sarcoidosis and pulmonary tuberculosis must be used in the practice of a pathologist to verify the clinical diagnosis, which will determine the adequate tactics of examination, administration, correction of the disease, and evaluation of the prognosis of the disease, taking into account identified clinical and laboratory data, results of instrumental research methods.
