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

Sarcoid Like Reaction (SLR) is a localized non-caseating epithelioid granulomatous reaction seen secondary to certain immunotherapies and malignancies. Invasive melanoma, while being associated with onset of sarcoidosis, has not shown to directly induce SLR in the literature. We present the case of a 68-year-old male with malignant melanoma, who was found to have SLR prior to starting immunotherapy, which worsened while on pembrolizumab. This case highlights the challenge of distinguishing between drug-induced SLR and melanoma-induced SLR, and the implications in terms of management.
