Recurrence of Epidural Spinal Sarcoidosis.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Neurosarcoidosis involving the spine is uncommon. Sarcoidosis of the spine usually presents as an intramedullary lesion and rarely an epidural lesion. To have recurrence of neurosarcoidosis is an even rarer presentation. Here, we present a 37-year-old man with poorly controlled sarcoidosis who initially presented to our medical center in 2015 with thoracic myelopathy from epidural spinal sarcoidosis treated with thoracic decompression and fusion. He presented to the hospital 5 years later with a month history of progressive upper extremity weakness. MRI revealed recurrent stenosis and spinal cord compression in the cervicothoracic junction. Urgent surgical intervention along with medical management resulted in symptomatic and functional improvement. Surgical intervention and compliance with postoperative corticosteroid therapy seem to yield a favorable prognosis for patients with epidural spinal sarcoidosis and to avoid recurrence.
