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

Neuro-sarcoidosis is one of the uncommon manifestations of sarcoidosis that presents with diagnostic difficulties, particularly when the patient does not show any signs of extra-neural disease. We report an 18-year-old female with an initial manifestation of neck pain, vomiting, seizures and cranial nerves palsies. The first MRI showed the T2 Flair hyperintensity, cortical T1 hyperintensity, nodular leptomeningeal enhancement and small focus of restricted diffusion, which is an isolated finding in the neuro-sarcoidosis. Peripheral nerve biopsy showed the presence of a non-caseating granuloma. This case brings out the challenges of diagnosing neuro-sarcoidosis due to the diverse forms of neurological manifestation of the disease and its mimicry of other diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Sarcoidosis manifestations do not have strong systematic features, and hence, requires sophisticated clinical, radiological and CSF analysis for a provisional diagnosis. This case points to the diagnostic significance of neuro-sarcoidosis in patients developing the neurological manifestations, as well as the necessity for the multiple-disciplinary approach to the management of the disease.
