Pseudoerosions of Hands and Feet in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Anatomic Concepts and Redefinition.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the development of osseous and cartilaginous damage. The correct differentiation between a true erosion and other entities-then often called "pseudoerosions"-is essential to avoid misdiagnosing rheumatoid arthritis and to correctly interpret the progress of the disease. The aims of this systematic review were as follows: to create a definition and delineation of the term "pseudoerosion", to point out morphological pitfalls in the interpretation of images, and to report on difficulties arising from choosing different imaging modalities. A systematic review on bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The following search terms were applied in PubMed and Scopus: "rheumatoid arthritis", "bone erosion", "ultrasonography", "radiography", "computed tomography" and "magnetic resonance imaging". Appropriate exclusion criteria were defined. The systematic review registration number is 138826. The search resulted ultimately in a final number of 25 papers. All indications for morphological pitfalls and difficulties utilizing imaging modalities were recorded and summarized. A pseudoerosion is more than just a negative definition of an erosion; it can be anatomic (e.g., a normal osseous concavity) or artefact-related (i.e., an artificial interruption of the calcified zones). It can be classified according to their configuration, shape, content, and can be described specifically with an anatomical term. "Calcified zone" is a term to describe the deep components of the subchondral, subligamentous and subtendinous bone, and may be applied for all non-cancellous borders of a bone, thus representing a third type of the bone matrix beside the cortical and the trabecular bone.
