Hot Aortic Nodules.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Morbidity of the dreaded thrombotic complications of atherosclerosis such as cerebrovascular accident and myocardial infarction may be severe. Early detection of fulminant disease is therefore important for risk stratification and selecting a treatment strategy. In this report we present four patients in which 18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake was identified in atherosclerotic plaques at positron emission tomography, performed for other indications. The study aims to showcase the potential implications of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose avid plaques, which may be otherwise overlooked at positron emission tomography. Early detection may aid in prevention of complications of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease through aggressive lifestyle modification, as well as pharmacologic or other intervention, such as endovascular atherectomy.
