Development of a guideline for the use of ultrasonography in rheumatoid arthritis: Preliminary recommendations.
Article in La Tunisie medicale, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo address the protocol of recommendations for the use of ultrasonography (US) in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in routine practice.
methodsThe present study is a protocol design for practical guidelines. Based on a systematic literature review, the scientific committee (composed of 6 experts on US) decided on key questions which will be used to develop recommendations. These recommendations will be submitted to a group of experts in US in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases using the Delphi method. This step will lead to preliminary recommendations. The next step will be to submit the preliminary guideline to an expanded group of US experts to check their relevance. The level of agreement of the experts will be recorded during a web-based meeting.
resultsFollowing two rounds of the Delphi method, a consensus will be addressed. The latter will i) Highlight the use of US for the diagnosis of RA in an early stage of the disease; ii) Define the role of US during follow-up; and iii) Underline the importance of US for the management of clinical remission.
conclusionThese recommendations will harmonize and optimize clinical practice and management of RA patients.
