Ultrasound imaging in rheumatoid arthritis.
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 41 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
Over the last decades, ultrasound (US) has undergone a dramatic evolution in the field of inflammatory joint diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is probably the pathology that has most benefited from this development, both in terms of early diagnosis and monitoring of disease activity. The RA-induced morpho-structural changes can be effectively detected and measured by US, and US findings represent an additional advantage over clinical and laboratory evaluation, showing the face of the disease (i.e., proliferative synovitis) and revealing its aggressive behavior (i.e., presence of bone erosions not detectable by conventional radiography). The present review provides an overview of the main studies focusing on the value of US in the assessment of the patients with RA, and discussing the elementary lesions detectable by US (synovitis, bone erosion, cartilage damage, tenosynovitis and tendon damage), the scoring systems currently available and the scanning protocols in definite clinical settings (undifferentiated arthritis, early and long standing RA).
