The diagnosis dilemma of coexistence of neurosarcoidosis and tuberculosis: case reports and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. 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 multisystem disease pathologically characterized by non-caseating epithelioid granulomas. Its neurological form, neurosarcoidosis (NS), can affect the central nervous system (CNS) and/or the peripheral nervous system (PNS), posing a significant diagnostic challenge. The diagnostic dilemma is further complicated by the significant clinicopathological overlap between sarcoidosis and tuberculosis (TB). Although rare, sarcoidosis and TB can coexist. Our case series included three NS patients: two had CNS involvement and one had PNS involvement. Notably, two patients had confirmed active tuberculosis infection and one patient had a latent TB infection. This highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of these coexisting conditions. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission computed tomography (FDG PET) helps detect extraneural sarcoidosis locations and find biopsy sites. Regarding the similarity and potential coexistence of TB and sarcoidosis, thorough screening for TB infection is essential before initiating any therapy for sarcoidosis.
