B-Scan Ultrasound Evaluation for Uveitis in Inflammatory Arthropathies: Systematic Review.
Article in European journal of rheumatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 ocular inflammatory process may be associated with autoimmune inflammatory joint damage and can be better recovered by B-mode ultrasound, being little explored in the absent eye evaluation. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review using the Patients or Problem, Intervention, Control or Comparison, Outcomes strategy: uveitis; ultrasound, arthritis, and diagnosis. Clinical trials, meta-analysis, and randomized controlled trials that specifically address the scope of this study will be evaluated. For the search in the database, a choice of controlled vocabulary will be used with the MEDLINE MeSH platform (Medical Subject Headings). The articles must be dated from the year 2010 until the year 2020. To charting methods will be used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Flow Diagram and risk of bias: the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Grade of recommendation assessment: Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation Group guidelines. Of 2909 studies, only 13 studies were included, which evaluated the use of B-mode ultrasound to assess anterior and intermediate uveitis and complications, and 5 cases showed an association of vitreitis. B-mode ultrasound can be an important benefit of complementing clinical evaluation in patients with the uveal inflammatory process associated with several autoimmune arthropathies, but more studies with better-elaborated methodology design will be necessary.
