1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown cause that affects any organ, especially the lungs, eyes, lymph nodes and skin. Skin sarcoidosis occurs in about one-fourth of patients with systemic disease and may also arise in isolation. Skin lesions are divided into two groups, as follows: specific skin lesions where histologic examination shows the typical sarcoid granulomas and non-specific skin lesions. Specific lesions are lupus pernio, infiltrated plaques, maculopapular eruptions, subcutaneous nodules and scars. The most significant non-specific skin lesion seen in sarcoidosis is erythema nodosum. Cutaneous sarcoidosis is known as the 'great imitator' in dermatology, because it can mimic a vast variety of cutaneous lesions. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis is made by exclusion and is supported by the recognition of specific clinical features, the detection of classic histopathologic findings and the exclusion of other granulomatous diseases. We present a case report concerning a single, solitary and asymptomatic lesion on the scalp.
