Combination therapy with pulmonary arterial hypertension targeted drugs and immunosuppression can be a useful strategy for sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary hypertension: a case report.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the significant complications of sarcoidosis. In the clinical classification of PH proposed in the recent world symposium of PH 2018, sarcoidosis-associated PH is classified in Group 5. The mechanisms of sarcoidosis-associated PH are very heterogeneous. There is no evidence of effective treatment for this condition. CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of a 46-year-old female who developed severe pulmonary hypertension due to sarcoidosis. Her haemodynamics, exercise capacity, and functional class remarkably improved after the treatment with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) targeted drugs including macitentan and tadalafil and secondary immunosuppressive therapy with corticosteroids. DISCUSSION: This case emphasizes the importance of considering the underlying mechanisms of sarcoidosis-associated PH in order to choose appropriate treatment.
