Sarcoidosis-Like Reaction After Chemotherapy Mimicking Metastasis in a Patient With Two Synchronous Tumors: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 presents a diagnostic challenge due to its diverse clinical manifestations and potential to mimic malignancies. We report a clinical case involving a 46-year-old woman diagnosed with localized synchronous ovarian and endometrial carcinomas treated with surgery. Following adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the patient developed suspicious pulmonary micronodules and lymphadenopathy observed in imaging studies, raising concerns about cancer recurrence. Histopathological analysis revealed chronic granulomatous inflammation without evidence of malignancy, leading to a diagnosis of a sarcoidosis-like reaction secondary to chemotherapy. Remarkably, these lesions resolved spontaneously without specific intervention. This case emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex oncological presentations and underscores the significance of histopathological examination in distinguishing between malignancy and chemotherapy-induced sarcoidosis-like reactions.
