Ultrasonography in inflammatory rheumatic disease: an overview.
Review in Nature reviews. Rheumatology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Modern ultrasonography enables clinicians to sensitively assess the progression of inflammatory joint and tendon disease, and to investigate vasculitides, connective tissue diseases and nerve lesions. Despite the advantages of musculoskeletal ultrasonography for diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring purposes, fewer than 10% of European rheumatologists use this technique in routine clinical practice. The reliability and limitations of rheumatic ultrasonography remain a concern, although good interobserver and intraobserver agreement in results from ultrasonography have been demonstrated among experienced sonographers. International recommendations for assessments and ultrasonography training courses are available, and will improve the standardization of the use of these techniques. In clinical practice, ultrasonography can complement the diagnostic evaluation of patients with rheumatic disease and might have value in confirming and extending clinical findings. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography can also be a valuable follow-up tool to monitor disease activity and support treatment decisions for specific patients. Furthermore, ultrasonography-guided articular injections provide better precision and a higher success rate for synovial fluid aspiration than clinically-guided injections. In the future, three-dimensional ultrasonography techniques, the fusion of ultrasonography and other imaging methods, and real time sonoelastography will be interesting new fields of investigation.
