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

A 69-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and treated with tacrolimus because of worsening symptoms of arthritis. Four months after tacrolimus initiation, corticosteroids were administered. Arthritis improved after 4 months of corticosteroid administration, and the corticosteroid treatment was terminated. However, 2 months after corticosteroid treatment cessation, the patient developed mediastinal and hilar lymph node swelling, subcutaneous node swelling, uveitis, and elevated serum sarcoidosis-associated markers. Consequently, the patient was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, characterised by non-serodermal epithelial granuloma cells with positive staining for anti-
