Diagnostic Approaches for Large Vessel Vasculitides.
Review in Open access rheumatology : research and reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The large vessel vasculitides comprise giant cell arteritis (GCA), Takayasu arteritis (TAK), and chronic periaortitis. The diagnostic approach to these conditions involves the correct use and interpretation of clinical criteria, imaging techniques, and, in case of GCA, temporal artery biopsy. Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) reveal a homogeneous, concentric, thickening of the arterial wall. MRI and CT may also reveal aneurysms and stenoses. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET shows increased FDG uptake of inflamed artery walls delineating increased metabolic activity. Ultrasound, FDG-PET, and MRI are the recommended imaging techniques in GCA and TAK. In patients with a high suspicion of GCA who present with visual disturbances, initiation of high-dose intravenous corticosteroids should not be delayed by imaging. Extracranial large vessel vasculitis may be confirmed by all three modalities, particularly by FDG-PET in case of atypical clinical pictures. In this article, we review the role of the GCA and TAK ACR classification criteria, temporal artery biopsy, conventional angiography, ultrasound, MRI, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), CT angiography (CTA), and FDG-PET in the diagnostic approach of large vessel vasculitis.
