Acute rheumatic fever diagnosis and management: Review of the global implications of the new revised diagnostic criteria with a focus on Saudi Arabia.
Review in Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Rheumatic fever (RF) is a common cause of acquired heart disease in children worldwide. It is a delayed, nonsuppurative, autoimmune phenomenon following pharyngitis, impetigo, or scarlet fever caused by group A β-hemolytic streptococcal (GAS) infection. RF diagnosis is clinical and based on revised Jones criteria. The first version of the criteria was developed by T. Duckett Jones in 1944, then subsequently revised by the American Heart Association (AHA) in 1992 and 2015. However, RF remains a diagnostic challenge for clinicians because of the lack of specific clinical or laboratory findings. As a result, it has been difficult for some time to maintain a balance between over- and underdiagnosis of RF cases. The Jones criteria were revised in 2015 by the AHA, and the main modifications were as follows: the population was subdivided into moderate- to high-risk and low risk; the concept of subclinical carditis was introduced; and monoarthritis was included as a feature of musculoskeletal inflammation in the moderate- to high-risk population. This review will highlight the major changes in the AHA 2015 revised Jones criteria for pediatricians and general practitioners.
