Review in Der Internist, 2021. 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
Cardiovascular medicine is one of the most resource-consuming parts of the healthcare system and many examples of overdiagnostic and overtreatment can be found. The present article presents just three of these, one from cardiology and two from vascular medicine. The topic of chronic coronary heart disease concerns the unequivocal proof of ischemia before a coronary intervention. The sections on Duplex sonography of the cervical blood vessels and the diagnostics of thrombophilia describe which valid clinical problems may justify the performance of these examinations at all. The potential for harm caused by overdiagnostics in both cases lies not only in the unnecessary use of resources but, more importantly, in the subsequent overtreatment. The few appropriate indications are described in detail.
