[Peripheral nerve involvement in rheumatic diseases].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2019. 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
Peripheral neuropathies are probably an under-diagnosed complication of many rheumatic diseases. In some cases they take a mild clinical course, in others they cause severe impairment of patients' quality of life. A precise diagnosis and etiological classification are of major importance for successful treatment and prognosis of peripheral neuropathies. A detailed patient history and physical examination are the foundation of every diagnostic approach. Electrophysiological studies are obligatory when peripheral neuropathy is suspected, whereas nerve or nerve-muscle biopsies are indicated only in selected cases. Therapeutic approaches are often complicated by a lack of evidence. They correspond to frequently tested immunosuppressive treatment of the underlying disease, such as glucocorticoids, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil and intravenous immunoglobulins and are based on the symptomatic pain treatment of other neuropathies. As first-line treatment gabapentin, pregabalin, duloxetine, venlafaxine and tricyclic antidepressants are frequently used.
