[Heerfordt's syndrome: about a case and literature review].
Review in The Pan African medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Heerfordt's syndrome is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis combining uveitis, parotidomegaly, facial paralysis and fever in its classic form. It is an active form of the disease whose diagnosis is facilitated by salivary gland biopsy. We conducted clinical observation of a 17-year-old female patient with uveitis, right parotidomegaly and right facial paralysis characterized by violent onset. After laboratory tests and imaging exam (parotid ultrasound), biopsy of minor salivary glands established the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. A pre-therapeutic assessment allowed for the initiation of oral corticosteroid therapy with favorable outcome and total remission. Heerfordt's syndrome is a rare clinical form of sarcoidosis, with favorable outcome in most cases. Specific diagnostic approach (excluding differential diagnoses, especially the incomplete forms) is necessary, based on therapeutic advances in this area.
