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

Over the past few years, an increased number of clinical trials have been performed evaluating specific therapies for pulmonary and cardiac sarcoidosis. However, a lack of consensus remains for appropriate clinical trial endpoints. In 2024, the World Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous disease (WASOG) established a clinical trial endpoint Task Force to update the 2011 WASOG Task Force. This initiative was spearheaded by five sarcoidosis specialists (RPB, EEL, DAC, MAJ, AUW) and enlisted a total of 55 stakeholders, including 37 health care providers, 14 industry representatives, and 4 patients. In March 2025, 46 stakeholders participated in a one-day meeting which included twenty focused talks regarding clinical trial endpoints for pulmonary and cardiac sarcoidosis trials. A compilation of individual talk summaries was prepared and distributed to all stakeholders, including those unable to attend the meeting. Based on feedback from all stakeholders, the team leaders developed a series of statements reflecting the presentations and discussions with subsequent anonymous voting by all stakeholders. The majority of the voters endorsed thirteen specific clinical trial endpoint statements: two evaluating overall trial design, seven regarding pulmonary sarcoidosis, and four discussing cardiac sarcoidosis.
