Turning the Page in Osteoarthritis Assessment with the Use of Ultrasound.
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 14 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 reviewThis narrative review summarizes the last 5 years of published, peer-reviewed research on the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) in osteoarthritis (OA). RECENT
findingsMultiple features relevant to OA can be visualized on US, including synovitis, erosion, enthesitis, osteophytes, cartilage damage, meniscal extrusion, and popliteal cysts. US can be used to confirm a diagnosis of OA or make an alternate diagnosis in the clinical setting. When a standardized protocol is used, US is a reliable modality for assessment of the features of OA. Findings on US can predict progression and response to therapy in OA of the hand and knee and can allow characterization of risk factors in a cost-effective, non-invasive, repeatable manner. US is becoming more widely used in OA imaging and has clear value in addition to radiography and clinical assessment. US will likely prove useful in defining phenotypes and providing treatment guidance in OA.
