Multisystem FDG-avid sarcoidosis with osseous involvement mimicking disseminated metastatic malignancy.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 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 may closely mimic disseminated malignancy on FDG-PET/CT because active granulomatous inflammation can demonstrate intense multisystem FDG uptake. We report a 59-year-old woman with previously diagnosed pulmonary sarcoidosis who presented with acute dyspnea and right leg pain and was found to have segmental and subsegmental pulmonary emboli on CT pulmonary angiography. FDG-PET/CT demonstrated extensive intensely hypermetabolic mediastinal, hilar, abdominal and pelvic lymphadenopathy with pulmonary, hepatic, splenic and multifocal osseous involvement, including a right iliac lesion (SUVmax 12.3), raising strong suspicion for disseminated metastatic malignancy or lymphoproliferative disease. CT-guided biopsy of the iliac lesion revealed non-necrotizing granulomatous inflammation without evidence of malignancy or infection, confirming multisystem sarcoidosis with osseous involvement. This case highlights the importance of histological confirmation when FDG-PET/CT findings in sarcoidosis mimic metastatic disease.
