Clinical utility and potential of ultrasound in osteoarthritis.
Review in La Radiologia medica, 2019. 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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common disorder of human joints. Imaging is necessary in daily practice for OA patients, and conventional radiography remains the gold standard. However, conventional radiography is not sensitive in the early stage of OA and cannot clearly detect inflammatory condition. Recently, ultrasonography (US) is widely used in musculoskeletal field and US performs better or at least equally well for identification of osteophytes and morphologic degeneration of cartilage in OA patients. US provides relevant additional diagnostic information on pathologic changes in soft tissue (e.g., synovitis, meniscal injuries and Baker's cysts) not depicted by conventional radiography. The advantage of US is its ability to visualize even in small and hidden morphologic change even in small joints. Thus, US may be a useful imaging technique for not only knee OA but also hand OA. This review article explains relevant pathologic findings in OA and clinical usefulness in daily practice with US images.
