Idiopathic Orbital Myositis Revisited.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purpose of reviewTo review current knowledge regarding idiopathic orbital myositis. RECENT
findingsRecent publications have focused on possible causes of orbital myositis and the process to reach a diagnosis of idiopathic orbital myositis. With inflamed and enlarged extraocular muscles, features to distinguish between competing diagnostic possibilities are based on imaging in the context of history and clinical signs. Idiopathic orbital myositis is characterized by the clinical triad of acute onset of orbital pain exacerbated on eye movement, double vision, and redness or swelling of the eyelids or conjunctiva, along with the radiological finding of homogeneous, fusiform enlargement of one or more extraocular muscles. In atypical or inconclusive clinico-radiological findings for a diagnosis of idiopathic orbital myositis, or where the clinical behavior changes or fails to respond to corticosteroid treatment, a systemic and oncologic work-up and muscle biopsy are warranted to exclude specific local or systemic disease as cause of the inflamed and enlarged muscle. As our understanding of idiopathic orbital myositis evolves, the diagnostic focus is shifting toward earlier identification of underlying local or systemic disease through systemic work-up and muscle biopsy.
