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

A 45-year-old male was diagnosed with arrhythmia during a routine health examination. Findings from different modalities, such as echocardiography and radiography, were consistent with cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis. There was no ocular involvement or superficial lymph node enlargement. A chest computed tomography scan did not reveal any pulmonary lesions or bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. To pathologically diagnose systemic sarcoidosis, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy was performed. Results showed pathological evidence of noncaseating epithelioid granulomas. Herein, we present a case in which sarcoidosis diagnosis was confirmed via transbronchial lung cryobiopsy despite the absence of respiratory lesions on computed tomography scan.
