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

Background: Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous multi-organ disease of unknown aetiology. Despite being relatively rare, cardiac sarcoidosis constitutes a very important manifestation of sarcoidosis, as its symptoms regularly precede or occur in isolation of more prevalent ones, and as it is the main driver of mortality in systemic sarcoidosis. Case summary: We present the case of a 37-year-old woman, in which clinically isolated cardiac sarcoidosis revealed widespread systemic sarcoidosis. Apart from constitutional symptoms and strong recurrent dizziness (i.e. near-syncopes), which persisted for multiple years already, our patient initially presented with complex conduction abnormalities, including a right bundle branch block, left anterior hemi-block, and atrioventricular block °1. Following inconclusive endomyocardial biopsies, performed due to detection of focal septal scarring on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, an Discussion: Unexplained complex conduction abnormalities in young patients may be a sign of sarcoidosis, even in isolation of more prevalent symptoms. Correct interpretation and prompt initiation of a structured interdisciplinary diagnostic workup, including
