Temporal Artery Ultrasound for the Diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis in the Emergency Department.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Giant cell arteritis (GCA), known as temporal arteritis, is a serious condition requiring immediate treatment to prevent complications. GCA can be difficult to diagnose, especially in emergency department (ED) settings where ophthalmology and rheumatology services may be unavailable. Temporal artery ultrasound (TAUS) is a valuable tool for diagnosing GCA. In the ED, TAUS can be used to quickly rule out GCA and avoid unindicated steroid treatment, which can cause serious morbidity in elderly patients. This article discusses the use of TAUS for evaluating patients with suspected GCA in the ED and its potential to expedite treatment and ensure appropriate, timely follow-up for patients with this potential vision and life-threatening condition.
