The Association Between Lung Cancer and Sarcoidosis: A Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Lung cancer is responsible for a significant number of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While various factors can lead to lung cancer, such as tobacco smoking, this article focuses on the relationship between sarcoidosis, a multisystem granulomatous disorder, and lung neoplasm. To investigate this association, the authors conducted a literature search using relevant keywords. The analysis of these reports concluded that while Sarcoidosis and lung cancer together is rare, it is possible. The presenting symptoms, age, gender, and diagnostic procedures of each case should be evaluated, and appropriate diagnostic procedures should be carried out to determine the appropriate treatment for each patient. Clinicians need to be aware of the possibility of these two diseases co-occurring, as they can impact the management of the patient's condition, whether it is curative or palliative. It is essential to rule out metastatic cancer in individuals with sarcoidosis-like clinical and radiographic features.
