Tattoo-Associated Sarcoidosis With Severe Uveitis Successfully Treated With Mycophenolate Mofetil: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Tattooing is an increasing trend among Western countries, with about 18% of the population undergoing the procedure once in their lifetime. The process looks simple; introduce exogenous pigment into the dermis layer of the skin, altering the skin color permanently. However, this simple procedure leads to several health issues and medical complications, both acute and chronic, and some are difficult to cure. Sarcoidosis is high on the list of severity involving almost all body organs. Multiple organ involvement makes this condition more difficult to treat. Lungs and lymphatics are the leading sites of involvement, followed by an inflammatory disease of the eye called uveitis. An additional problem is the limited confirmatory diagnostic tests and treatment options for sarcoidosis. Each patient must be considered unique based on their age, clinical presentation, and severity of involvement. Proper treatment must be tailored for better outcomes with minimum side effects and rapid cure. Here we describe two case reports of tattoo-associated sarcoidosis with severe uveitis successfully treated with mycophenolate mofetil.
