Visualization of Enthesitis by Ultrasound: a Key Diagnostic Tool in Spondyloarthropathy Diagnosis and Management.
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 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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to report on the current status of evaluation of enthesitis with sonography. Sonography can visualize peripheral entheses in great detail since most of them are superficial. Visualization of entheses has provided insights into the pathophysiology of enthesitis and highlighted the interconnectivity of stress dissipation mechanisms about the enthesis. The primary use of entheseal sonography presently revolves around diagnostic use. RECENT
findingsThere is increasing awareness of biomechanical confounders that lead to entheseal changes, which are more prevalent in males, patients with higher body mass index, and those who are more active-though there are several approaches to mitigate biomechanical confounders in sonographic evaluation. Entheseal sonography may also provide prognostic information in predicting the severity of axial syndesmophyte formation. Although entheseal outcome scoring systems are available, there is sparse data on its use as an outcome tool, and hence, this is a fertile area for future research.
