Necrotic mediastinal lymphadenopathy: Tuberculosis or Sarcoidosis, a diagnostic conundrum - A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 an uncommon disease involving pulmonary parenchyma and lymph nodes. Non-necrotizing, bilaterally symmetric hilar, and right paratracheal lymph nodes are the pathognomonic imaging features of sarcoidosis. Rarely, atypical radiological findings of sarcoidosis may mimic mycobacterial infections, posing a diagnostic dilemma, especially in tuberculosis endemic countries. In this report, we have discussed the case of a 61-year-old female presenting with multiple conglomerated necrotic mediastinal lymph nodes on computed tomography that looked tubercular but eventually turned out to be sarcoidosis. It is important for primary care physicians, who are the first point of contact for patients, to keep in mind the atypical radiologic manifestations of sarcoidosis, in order to reach a timely diagnosis and help reduce the associated morbidity and mortality.
