Voriconazole-induced periostitis: a new rheumatic disorder.
Review in Clinical rheumatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Over the past few years, several reports of periostitis affecting patients treated with voriconazole appeared in the literature. As rheumatologists are likely to be called to see such patients, a review of the reported cases was undertaken. A systematic search of Pubmed and Google scholar for case reports, case series and observational studies was undertaken. Twenty-six articles including 23 case reports/case series (total 40 patients), a prospective study and two retrospective studies of 58 cases were included. Age ranged from 3 months to 77 years. Eleven cases (27.5 %) were male and 29 cases (72.5 %) were female. The duration of treatment varied from 6 weeks to 8 years (mean 53.6, SD 77.4 weeks). Most cases presented with diffuse skeletal pain affecting various sites in association with elevated alkaline phosphatase. Periostitis is increasingly reported and should be considered in patients taking voriconazole who present with bone pain and/or alkaline phosphatase elevation.
