Cerebral Vasculitis Revealing Systemic Sarcoidosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Vasculitis in neurosarcoidosis is rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We report the clinical observation of a 51-year-old patient with no previous medical history, who was admitted to the emergency department due to sudden onset confusion, fever, sweating, weakness, and headaches. The first brain scan was normal, but a further biological exam with a lumbar puncture revealed lymphocytic meningitis. A complementary cerebral MRI revealed abnormalities in the white matter signal, suggestive of multiple sclerosis, with petechial hemorrhagic foci associated with leptomeningeal involvement and cerebral vasculitis. Thoraco-abdomino-pelvic computed tomography revealed hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, as well as lymph nodes in the lower cervical region. A biopsy of the lymph nodes confirmed the presence of non-caseating granulomatous inflammation consistent with sarcoidosis. High-dose corticosteroid therapy was initiated with good clinical outcomes. Cerebral vasculitis in neurosarcoidosis is rare but can lead to neurological complications requiring long-term multidisciplinary management.
