Ultrasound detected synovitis, tenosynovitis and erosions in hand and wrist joints: a comparative study between rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis.
Article in Reumatologia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesMusculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) has been introduced as a valuable simple imaging tool for arthritis. The objective was to assess the role of ultrasound (US) in the differential diagnosis between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) at the wrist and hand joints and tendons. MATERIAL AND
methodsThirty-five patients (20 RA and 15 PsA) with symptomatic involvement of at least one of the hand and/or wrist joints for > 6 weeks were included. Bilateral wrists (distal radioulnar, radiocarpal and midcarpal joints), hands (1
resultsAmong 680 and 510 joints examined in RA and PsA respectively, certain US features such as synovitis and erosions at the DIP were exclusively detected in PsA (
conclusionsThere are significant differences in the musculoskeletal US findings of the hand and wrist that joints help to distinguish between RA and PsA.
