Diagnostic accuracy of salivary gland ultrasonography with different scoring systems in Sjögren's syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Noninvasive objective salivary gland ultrasonography (SGU) had been widely used to evaluate major salivary gland involvement in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and treatment responses. However, the evaluation score, diagnostic sensitivity, and diagnostic specificity significantly varied among clinical studies. We conducted this meta-analysis to assess the diagnostic accuracy of different SGU scoring systems using the American-European Consensus Group criteria. Of the 1301 articles retrieved from six databases, 24 met the criteria for quality assessment and 14 for meta-analyses. The pooled sensitivities were 75% (0-4) with I
