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

Sarcoidosis is a non-caseating granulomatous disorder affecting multiple organs. Although the lungs are the most common site of presentation, extra-pulmonary manifestations involving the skin and heart can occur. Sarcoidosis affecting skull bone is uncommon and involvement of skin, heart, and skull bone all together, without pulmonary manifestations, is extremely rare. We report a 63-year-old Caucasian woman with a past history of cutaneous sarcoidosis and granulomatous skull bone lesions who presented with recurrent syncope. An ambulatory cardiac monitor detected intermittent high-grade atrioventricular block and cardiac MRI confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. This case represents an extremely unique journey of sarcoidosis and suggests potential consideration for cardiac sarcoidosis screening in patients with a history of extra-cardiac manifestations.
