Evaluation of Periarticular Soft Tissues in Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis by Superb Microvascular Imaging and Shear Wave Elastography.
Article in Archives of rheumatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07127302 (Evaluation and Clinical Correlation of Tendons With Power Doppler, SWE, Microvascular Flow), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aims to compare the vascularity and elasticity of periarticular soft tissues by superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and power Doppler (PD) ultrasound along with shear wave elastography (SWE) between children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and healthy children. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis prospective single center study, conducted between March 2018 and May 2018, included 22 children with JIA (14 males, 8 females; mean age 11.27±5 years; range, 5 to 17 years) and 24 healthy pediatric volunteers (12 males, 12 females; mean age 13±5.5 years; range, 7 to 17 years). Quadriceps tendon (QT), patellar tendon (PT), infraarticular and supraarticular soft tissue elasticities were calculated via SWE. Supraarticular and infraarticular soft tissue vascularity index (VI) were evaluated via SMI and PD.
resultsNo significant difference was found among the mean ages of the participants in study and control groups. Mean VI of both supraarticular (8.15%) and infraarticular soft tissues (7.9%) by SMI were significantly higher in study group compared to control group (2.88% vs. 2.57%, respectively). Mean VI of both supraarticular (9.1%) and infraarticular soft tissues (8.12%) by PD were significantly higher in study group compared to control group (3.4% vs. 3.1%, respectively). Highly significant good positive correlation was found between VI values obtained with PD and SMI (r=0.9, p=0.001). There was a significant moderate positive correlation between the mean elasticity of the QT with VI of the supraarticular soft tissues by SMI (r=0.4, p=0.003). There was a significant moderate positive correlation of VI of infraarticular soft tissues by SMI with mean elasiticity of PT (r=0.42, p=0.002).
conclusionVascularity index by SMI and PD could differentiate patients with JIA from healthy subjects. The SWE examination of tendons and soft tissues did not show any significant difference among patients with JIA and healthy subjects.
