1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 variety of phenotypic categorisations have been developed for sarcoidosis. Phenotyping has been used for genetics studies and to guide treatment selection. The authors participated in a Delphi expert consensus panel to develop a proposed phenotype categorisation and treatment recommendations for pulmonary sarcoidosis patients. Panellists reached consensus that asymptomatic patients with normal pulmonary function and adenopathy alone or normal chest imaging do not require therapy, while symptomatic patients with impaired pulmonary function or infiltrates should be treated. The panel did not reach consensus on asymptomatic patients with abnormal chest imaging or reduced pulmonary function, or symptomatic patients with normal chest imaging and pulmonary function. The proposed phenotype categories and associated treatment recommendations are asymptomatic (no therapy), acute (disease duration <1-2 years, apparently self-limited, corticosteroids), chronic (antimetabolites and other second-line therapies) and advanced (biologics). Some clinical settings, such as dyspnoea/hypoxaemia at rest, severely impaired or rapidly decreasing pulmonary function tests, and severe cardiac, neurologic, ocular or renal involvement warrant immediate therapy.
