The Pseudoalveolar Form of Sarcoidosis: A Diagnostic Trap Not to Be Ignored.
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 benign systemic granulomatosis of unknown etiology. Interstitial parenchymal involvement is typical. The pseudoalveolar form is atypical, often acute in onset, and difficult to diagnose; however, it rapidly improves with corticosteroid therapy. Here, we report a case of pseudoalveolar sarcoidosis with distinct and confusing radiological and clinical presentation in a young female patient. Through this work, we emphasize the rarity of this pseudoalveolar form, the difficulty of making an early diagnosis, and the importance of considering it early. Finally, we discuss the excellent response of this unusual form of sarcoidosis to corticosteroid therapy and the importance of starting therapy early.
