Hepatic Sarcoidosis Mimicking a Metastatic Tumor.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. 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
Although the liver is often involved in sarcoidosis, the majority of patients are asymptomatic and have a normal liver function; therefore, hepatic sarcoidosis may sometimes not be recognized in clinical practice. Radiologically, most hepatic nodules show hypoenhancement on contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and they are hypointense across all sequences of MRI. In this case, hepatic nodules were slightly hyperintense on T2-weighted images and contrasted from the early phases on gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid. We faced difficulties in distinguishing hepatic sarcoidosis from metastatic liver tumors with concurrent duodenal adenocarcinomas. Consequently, this case was diagnosed based on the pathological findings from a laparoscopic lateral segment hepatectomy.
