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

Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) remains the second leading cause of death in patients with sarcoidosis, primarily because of its association with heart failure and arrhythmias. While corticosteroids are first-line therapy, their long-term use in CS is associated with serious adverse events, necessitating alternative immunosuppressive therapies, such as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. Although infliximab is the most studied tumor necrosis factor inhibitor for refractory CS, adalimumab has emerged as a potential alternative. To that end, we reviewed the literature on adalimumab treatment in CS, identifying 12 publications published between January 2000 and September 2024 encompassing 240 patients, of whom 100 (42%) received adalimumab and were followed for at least 6 months. Most patients demonstrated stable or improved left ventricular ejection fraction, even those with initially low left ventricular ejection fraction and reduced cardiac
