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 multi-organ inflammatory disease that can have hepatic involvement in up to 80% of cases. Rarely, sarcoidosis can manifest with only confined disease to the liver. While most patients with hepatic sarcoidosis are clinically silent, certain cases can have insidious onset leading to cirrhosis and secondary complications. Here, we describe three cases of isolated hepatic sarcoidosis to illustrate the range of presentations that may be associated with this condition. Clinicians should be vigilant in consideration of hepatic sarcoidosis as a culprit when investigating patients with undifferentiated liver disease.
