Role of MRI in diagnosis and management of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) represent a heterogeneous group of muscle diseases. Given their potential amenability to immunosuppressive treatment, the early diagnosis of the IIM subtype and the exclusion of "myositis mimics" are of great importance. MRI can visualize muscle edema, fatty replacement, atrophy, subcutaneous pathology, and fasciitis. MRI furthermore provides information about the distribution of muscle involvement and help in guiding of muscle biopsy. This review discusses significant MRI developments aimed at improving the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, and at assessing IIM activity and damage. The manuscript also highlights techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy, blood oxygenation level-dependent MRI, and diffusion-weighted MRI and T2 mapping which may in the future allow to better characterize vascular involvement, metabolic reserves, dynamic muscle recruitment, and treatment outcome.
