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

Microblading is a novel method of semi-permanent makeup, which has achieved popularity in the last few years. We present the case of a patient who developed cutaneous sarcoidosis after microblading of her eyebrows. A 45-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of pruritic erythematous granulomatous plaques on bilateral eyebrows corresponding to the site of microblading 1.5 years prior. A tissue biopsy was preformed which was consistent with cutaneous sarcoidosis. An extensive work-up including assessment by respirology, rheumatology, and ophthalmology did not reveal any evidence of systemic sarcoidosis. The patient was treated with intralesional triamcinolone injections and tacrolimus ointment twice daily, with complete resolution. To our knowledge, this is the first case of cutaneous sarcoidosis associated with microblading in the literature. Dermatologists should be aware of popular and novel cosmetic procedures and the potential complications that arise from these interventions.
