Temporal artery biopsy versus imaging in patients with cranial giant cell arteritis.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2020. 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
Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) is frequently still required in patients with suspected cranial giant cell arteritis (GCA). The literature on the performance characteristics of TAB versus imaging is conflicting, and several meta-analyses suggest that TAB is more sensitive than ultrasound. False-positive ultrasound results can occur. Also, diseases that mimic the symptoms, signs or imaging characteristics of GCA may only be revealed on pathology.
