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
objectiveWe undertook this study to validate the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System for the knee joint (PAUSS-knee) in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
methodsChildren with JIA were enrolled to prospectively receive a musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) examination of the knee and a physical examination to determine presence/absence of clinical arthritis. MSUS images were scored using the PAUSS-knee, a semiquantitative MSUS scoring system (0-3, normal to severe) for B-mode and power Doppler mode. In addition to MSUS, a subset of participants also received magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee, which was scored according to the combined Juvenile Arthritis MRI Scoring (JAMRIS) system. Spearman's correlations (r
resultsEighty children with JIA contributed 112 MSUSs and 25 MRIs of the knee. Of the knees, 41% (n = 46) had clinical evidence of arthritis. The B-mode PAUSS-knee score moderately correlated with clinically determined arthritis (r
conclusionOur data indicate that the PAUSS-knee has excellent accuracy for the diagnosis of arthritis when compared with MRI. The PAUSS-knee has the potential to effectively inform JIA medical decision-making in real time.
