Sarcoidosis and colon cancer: a possible association.
Article in Sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and diffuse lung diseases : official journal of WASOG, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas which mainly affect the pulmonary lymphatic system and lungs; although any organs can be interested. The association between sarcoidosis and cancer is still controversial, but many studies demonstrated an increased risk of cancer in patients with sarcoidosis, whereas few cases of sarcoidosis occurring after cancer have been reported. This report outlines and describes clinical, biologic and radiologic features of 3 patients with a history of surgical treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer, followed by a diagnosis of sarcoidosis some years later. The history of cancer and the lymph nodes positivity found through PET scan induced us to hypothesize a relapsing cancer disease. However, this hypothesis was not confirmed by the lymph nodes biopsy, which is the core method of diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
