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 systemic granulomatous disease; however, the incidence of bone sarcoidosis is relatively rare. The short tubular bones of the hands and feet are most frequently affected, while the vertebrae and the pelvic bones are rarely involved. We hereby report a rare case of multiple bone sarcoidosis involving the vertebrae and pelvic bones, evaluated before and after steroid therapy using two different imaging modalities: bone scintigraphy and A 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT). FDG-PET/CT is effective for detecting bone lesions; however, whole-body imaging is recommended to detect the short tubular bones of the hands and feet, which are most frequently affected.
