Worsening Paraparesis: A Diagnostic Dilemma for Neurosarcoidosis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disorder mostly known to affect the respiratory system. However, about 5-10% of cases develop neurological complications, either de novo or in patients with known sarcoidosis. The most common complications as cited by current literature include cranial nerve palsies, meningitis, and myelopathy. A unilateral thalamic lesion is an extremely rare presentation of disease. As the neurological manifestations of sarcoidosis are uncommon and variable, it poses a diagnostic challenge. We present a challenging case with worsening paraparesis and a step-by-step approach to how it was diagnosed as neurosarcoidosis. We aimed to create awareness about this uncommon manifestation to avoid misdiagnosis and promote early recognition of neurosarcoidosis.
