Tuberculosis and Sarcoidosis Overlap: A Clinical Challenge From Diagnosis to Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Tuberculosis (TB) and sarcoidosis have clinical, immunologic, and radiologic similarities and the differential diagnosis is often a challenge. Some cases are described in which patients have both diseases concomitantly. There is a hypothesis that posits TB and sarcoidosis as being along the spectrum of the same disease. This has important implications for treatment decisions, since immunosuppression, which is a treatment for sarcoidosis, is undesirable in TB patients. We are going to describe a clinical case of a TB patient who developed more severe symptoms during the course of TB treatment and, after excluding TB progression or resistance, he was diagnosed as probable sarcoidosis. He was started on immunosuppression, with great improvement, finishing the TB treatment completely asymptomatic.
