Clinical and ultrasonography follow-up of five cases of calcinosis cutis successfully treated with intralesional sodium thiosulfate.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Calcinosis cutis (CC) is characterized by deposit of calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue; its clinical presentation consists of indurated painful nodules, which can ulcerate and become superinfected. CC treatment remains a challenge, yet successful treatment with intralesional (IL) sodium thiosulfate (STS) has been reported in several CC subtypes. Herein we are reporting on a case series of 5 patients with CC successfully treated with IL-STS. We describe the 18-22 MHz ultrasound characteristics of the lesions and on follow-up after treatment. Ultrasound imaging was useful in guiding IL-STS injections and confirming response to treatment.
