Multisystemic Granulomatosis Induced by Red Tattoo Pigment: Course Over 10 Years.
Article in Cureus, 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
There is a wide spectrum of complications related to tattooing, among them local and regional granulomatous reactions. We report the well-documented case of a a 46-year old male patient who displayed an acute pseudolymphomatous reaction to the red pigment of a tattoo, followed by a systemic granulomatosis involving the skin, lymph nodes, kidneys, meninges, heart, and ultimately lungs and pleura with a refractory, although indolent, course over more than 10 years. The chronological and spatial sequences of clinical and pathological findings, including mineralogic studies, support the hypothesis of a multi-organ granulomatosis induced by an unknown antigen displayed in the red tattoo ink, in an individual genetically and immunologically predisposed to granulomatous inflammation, rather than a more trivial sarcoidosis with tattoo involvement.
