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

We report an unusual case of cutaneous sarcoidosis presenting as papulonodular lesions strictly localized to the nasal bridge and medial canthus-corresponding to areas of pressure from eyeglass frames. This rare distribution suggests the involvement of Koebner's phenomenon, a form of reactive isomorphism rarely reported in sarcoidosis. The cutaneous lesions, present for four years, led to dermatological evaluation and subsequent histopathological confirmation of sarcoidosis. Biological and radiological investigations further revealed pulmonary involvement, establishing the diagnosis of systemic sarcoidosis. The patient was treated with hydroxychloroquine and intra-lesional corticosteroids, showing marked improvement after three months and no recurrence at six months. This case underscores the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of cutaneous sarcoidosis, which may serve as an early clinical gateway to the diagnosis of systemic disease.
