Imaging: seeing muscle in new ways.
Review in Current opinion in rheumatology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewThe idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are diseases that can be difficult to diagnose and evaluate, but diagnosis has been improved by modern imaging techniques. Advances in imaging continue to be made. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the implications of these advances for the diagnosis, understanding, and management of muscle diseases. RECENT
findingsThere have been advances in imaging across multiple modalities. Several new radiotracers show an improved ability to focus on inflammation better than older agents. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has shown the ability to diagnose several idiopathic inflammatory myopathy mimics. MRI reveals previously unknown areas of disease when used for full-body imaging. Ultrasound has the ability to differentiate inclusion body myositis from other myopathies. SUMMARY: Currently, MRI and ultrasound offer the most information about these diseases in a given patient, and new advances in these fields have served to only make them more useful. New advances in nuclear imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy are showing that they have utility as well, and advances in these techniques may allow them to come to the forefront in evaluating difficult idiopathic inflammatory myopathy patients.
