D. Geraint James Lecture: The sarcoidosis saga: what insights from the past will guide us in the future.
Article in Sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and diffuse lung diseases : official journal of WASOG, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The sarcoidosis community in general and the World Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous diseases (WASOG) in particular have led efforts to improve sarcoidosis diagnosis and care. Evidence based guidelines regarding the diagnosis and treatment have recently been published. In addition, several clinical trials examining existing and new treatments for sarcoidosis have been completed and published. In addition, WASOG has developed criteria and identified Centers of Excellence for sarcoidosis care around the world. In discussing what insights from the past will guide us in the future, this paper focuses on three specific topics: updating the diagnosis of sarcoidosis, using placebo-controlled trials to illuminate the natural course of pulmonary sarcoidosis; and exploring multidisciplinary sarcoidosis clinic care using Centers of Excellence. New approaches for diagnosis of sarcoidosis and steroid tapering are proposed based on current literature.
