Sarcoidosis Presenting as Space Occupying Lesions in Liver.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 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
abstractThis case report illustrates a typical presentation of hepatic sarcoidosis, a granulomatous liver disease that often manifests as an extrapulmonary feature of systemic sarcoidosis. The patient, a 60-year-old female, exhibited dyspeptic symptoms and anorexia. An abdominal ultrasound revealed space-occupying lesions in the liver, and elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transferase were noted. Liver biopsy findings showed Grade 2 macrovesicular steatosis and noncaseating granulomatous inflammation. In addition, significantly elevated angiotensin-converting enzyme levels were observed, further supporting the diagnosis. This case underscores the importance of recognizing hepatic granulomatous foci, which can be crucial in determining the etiology and facilitating the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. The combination of clinical, biochemical, and histological findings played a pivotal role in diagnosing systemic sarcoidosis with hepatic involvement.
