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

backgroundSarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease histologically defined by the non-caseation granulomas formation in different organs, most commonly lungs, liver, skin, gastrointestinal system, eyes, neurologic and cardiac system CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 42-year-old Gilaks woman who presented with myelopathy with characteristic MRI finding called trident sign. By finding this view in axial spinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) imaging, a systemic evaluation was performed on the patient, which led to the diagnosis of cardiac involvement in Sarcoidosis with the specific appearance of this disease in cardiac MRI despite the negative Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) scan.

conclusionsSometimes characteristic findings such as the trident sign prompt the physician to high suspicion and wide evaluation of the patient to reveal important organ involvement that changes the treatment decision and saves the patient.
