Micropapular Cutaneous Sarcoidosis Confined to the Face: An Uncommon Clinical Variant.
Article in Cureus, 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
Micropapular sarcoidosis represents an uncommon variant of cutaneous sarcoidosis, typically presenting with a sudden onset, often resolving without residual scarring, and generally favorable prognosis. Its resemblance to other chronic papular dermatoses makes diagnosis challenging, especially in cases with subtle or localized cutaneous manifestations. We report a case of a 36-year-old female who presented with gradually progressive, asymptomatic skin-colored, and erythematous papules localized to the periorbital and perioral regions over six months. Systemic symptoms were absent, and routine blood investigations revealed anemia and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Skin biopsy revealed noncaseating epithelioid granulomas with lymphocytes suggestive of cutaneous sarcoidosis. The patient responded well to a combination of oral corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, and topical corticosteroids, with near-complete resolution of lesions and residual post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation over a period of three months. This case emphasizes the importance of considering micropapular sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of chronic facial papular eruptions and highlights the effectiveness of early appropriate treatment.
