[Characteristics of pharmacotherapy in older patients with rheumatism].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2018. 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
Due to medical advances and the availability of efficient immunosuppressive therapies, the life-expectancy of people suffering from inflammatory rheumatic diseases is continuously increasing. In Germany, geriatric patients (definition: age older than 70 years combined with geriatric multimorbidity) affected, e. g. by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) frequently receive corticosteroids and less often biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and conventional DMARDs (cDMARDs), which is justified by additionally existing comorbidities and polypharmacy. Using geriatric typical assessments as well as detailed medication regimens the treatment risk of bDMARD and cDMARD administration can be properly evaluated. Current data on biological therapy in older patients with rheumatism support this recommendation. Following the "choosing wisely" initiative of the German Association of Internal Medicine the authors listed 5 positive and 5 negative recommendations concerning the pharmacotherapy of older patients suffering from rheumatism (e. g. RA) as practical guidance towards safer bDMARD and cDMARD treatment for geriatric RA patients.
