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

purposeTo comprehensively summarize the characteristic radiological findings of laryngeal sarcoidosis.

methodsWe reviewed patients with laryngeal sarcoidosis who underwent computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and included 8 cases from 8 publications that were found through a systematic review and 6 cases from our institutions. Two board-certified radiologists reviewed and evaluated the radiological images.

resultsAlmost all cases exhibited supraglottic lesions 13/14 (92.9%) and most of them involved aryepiglottic folds (12/13, 92.3%), epiglottis (11/14, 78.6%), and arytenoid region (10/14, 71.4%). Most lesions were bilateral (12/14, 85.7%). All cases showed well-defined margins and a diffuse swelling appearance (14/14, 100%). Non-contrast CT revealed a low density (4/5, 80%). The contrast-enhanced CT showed a slight patchy enhancement predominantly at the margin of the lesion in most cases (12/13, 92.3%). In one case, T2-weighted images showed high signal intensity peripherally and low signal intensity centrally (1/1, 100%). Gadolinium-enhanced MRI showed moderate heterogeneous enhancement predominantly at the margin of the lesion (2/2, 100%). In one case, diffusion-weighted imaging showed intermediate signal intensity; the apparent diffusion coefficient value was 2.4 × 10

conclusionWe summarized the CT and MRI findings of patients with laryngeal sarcoidosis. Knowledge of these characteristics is expected to facilitate prompt diagnosis and appropriate management.
