Sarcoidal Reaction of the Eyebrows after Micropigmentation: A Review of Therapeutic Approaches.
Article in International journal of trichology. 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
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease that can affect multiple organs, with cutaneous manifestations occurring in about 25% of patients. Tattooing, including the newer technique of eyebrow micropigmentation, is known to trigger sarcoidosis in genetically predisposed individuals. This study reviews the case of a 55-year-old female who developed sarcoidal reaction (SR) on her eyebrows 3 years after undergoing micropigmentation. The patient presented with erythematous, scaly plaques and partial madarosis. A biopsy-confirmed cutaneous SR and systemic disease was ruled out. Treatment involved intralesional corticosteroids followed by systemic therapy with hydroxychloroquine and oral prednisone, leading to clinical improvement. The case highlights the potential for micropigmentation to induce SR, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach. Dermatologists should be vigilant in recognizing cutaneous SR in patients with new-onset skin lesions after micropigmentation and consider both local and systemic treatments based on disease severity. This case also underscores the psychosocial impact of facial involvement, emphasizing the need for comprehensive care.
