Rhabdomyolysis: a review of imaging features across modalities.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2024. 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
This review illustrates the imaging features of rhabdomyolysis across multiple modalities and in a variety of clinical scenarios. Rhabdomyolysis is the rapid breakdown of striated muscle following severe or prolonged insult resulting in the release of myocyte constituents into circulation. In turn, patients develop characteristically elevated serum creatine kinase, positive urine myoglobin, and other serum and urine laboratory derangements. While there is a spectrum of clinical symptoms, the classic presentation has been described as muscular pain, weakness, and dark urine. This triad, however, is only seen in about 10% of patients. Thus, when there is a high clinical suspicion, imaging can be valuable in evaluating the extent of muscular involvement, subsequent complications such as myonecrosis and muscular atrophy, and other etiologies or concurrent injuries causing musculoskeletal swelling and pain, especially in the setting of trauma. Sequela of rhabdomyolysis can be limb or life-threatening including compartment syndrome, renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. MRI, CT, ultrasound, and 18-FDG PET/CT are useful modalities in the evaluation of rhabdomyolysis.
