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

In sarcoidosis, personalised strategies that consider the various phenotypes and endotypes of the disease have the potential to improve patient care. The 'treatable traits' (TT) approach offers a promising strategy that has already been proposed and implemented in several other chronic pulmonary diseases. In this review, we propose five distinct TT categories for patients with sarcoidosis: aetiological, lifestyle, pulmonary, extrapulmonary (systemic) and comorbidities.Despite the potential of this strategy, several challenges hinder its implementation. In addition, much of the knowledge on the definition and prevalence of TTs comes from single-centre studies. Creating international registries will enhance our understanding and provide more accurate data on these traits.TTs are dynamic and require continuous evaluation to effectively respond to changes caused by disease progression or treatment response. A multidisciplinary management approach is therefore crucial as sarcoidosis can impact multiple organs. Integrating primary care physicians into the management framework will improve overall patient care.Incorporating patient preferences into the TT strategy is vital for improving adherence to treatment. Additionally, using patient-reported outcome measures will provide valuable insights into the impact of treatment.While the TT approach is feasible in developed healthcare systems, challenges exist in resource-limited settings. Advancing patient-centred care towards 5P medicine involves addressing key TTs that meet the unique patient needs.Therefore, randomised controlled trials focused on TTs are needed. Our proposed TT strategy aims to enhance quality of life and outcomes for patients with sarcoidosis while increasing awareness of the importance of TTs among healthcare providers and advocacy groups.
