Emergence of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Use in Pediatric Rheumatology.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purpose of reviewTo summarize recent international efforts on standardization and validation of pediatric musculoskeletal ultrasound and determine its role in diagnosis and monitoring of disease in pediatric rheumatology. RECENT
findingsOver the past decade, significant progress has been made on building the evidence base for musculoskeletal ultrasound in pediatric rheumatology. This includes the clear definition of the sonographic appearance of the normal pediatric joint and enthesis on ultrasonography, definitions for pathology, and the establishment of a specific scoring system for the pediatric knee. Ultrasonography has been shown to have an important role in the detection of subclinical synovitis and can predict flares in children considered to be in remission clinically. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is likely going to play an important role in complementing the clinical exam especially in juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Given the powerful therapeutic tools available, it will support early diagnosis and precisely determine remission status. In a treat to target approach, it will greatly help to define the targets that need to be reached.
