Multisystem Sarcoidosis Presenting as Severe Hypercalcemic Crisis and Generalized Lymphadenopathy Mimicking Hematological Malignancy: A Case Report.
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
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology characterized histologically by the formation of non-caseating granulomas in various organs and tissues. Typically, sarcoidosis is recognized by features such as dry cough, fever, erythema nodosum, and bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. However, when patients present with severe hypercalcemia and generalized lymphadenopathy, sarcoidosis is usually overlooked, and we usually investigate for features of malignancy, bone metastasis, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and primary hyperparathyroidism. We report the case of a 61-year-old lady who presented with severe hypercalcemia and generalized lymphadenopathy; further investigations ultimately led to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis with multisystem involvement. This case illustrates the importance of considering a broader differential diagnosis in diagnostically challenging cases, especially when typical etiologies are not identified, as early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential. It also highlights the importance of involving a multidisciplinary team early in the diagnostically challenging cases with multisystem involvement when initial investigations fail to identify more common causes.
