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

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease commonly involving the lungs and lymph nodes, but it may also affect the skin. Tattoos have been recognized as potential triggers for cutaneous sarcoid lesions. We report a case of a 46-year-old female who developed sarcoidosis presenting as asymptomatic papules and plaques initially confined to her tattooed eyebrows, followed by the appearance of similar lesions at distant non-tattooed sites, including the upper back and elbows. Histopathology confirmed cutaneous sarcoidosis, and imaging revealed bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, indicating systemic involvement. The patient responded well to systemic corticosteroid therapy after topical treatment failed. This case highlights the unique phenomenon of sarcoid skin lesions occurring beyond tattoo sites, emphasizing the systemic nature of the disease and the importance of thorough clinical evaluation and management.
