High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Occult Giant Cell Arteritis.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) can be an elusive diagnosis and is particularly challenging to monitor during the course of treatment when traditional acute phase reactants are all normal, leaving no empirical means of monitoring. Our study aims to explore the use of more sensitive acute phase reactants and imaging in the initial evaluation and monitoring of GCA. We report the case of an 84-year-old in whom the traditional acute phase reactants were normal but who had perineuritis on imaging and whose high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were elevated. In cases where the traditional measure of inflammatory activity is normal, it may be necessary to consider additional markers.
