Hepatic sarcoidosis resembling primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Article in BMJ 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.
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
We report the case of a 29-year-old man who presented with progressive weight loss, night sweats, abdominal pain and pruritus who was found to have obstructive jaundice and cholestatic pattern of liver injury on laboratory workup. Though findings on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography were initially concerning primary sclerosing cholangitis, he was ultimately diagnosed with biliary sarcoidosis after a liver biopsy. This case brings attention to the rare phenomenon of hepatic sarcoidosis causing hyperbilirubinemia and highlights the importance of reaching the correct diagnosis early, as the patient's symptoms improved after initiation of steroids.
