Imaging and management of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2025. 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
The radiological manifestations of calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) revolve around two main axes: the asymptomatic form and CPPD disease. The latter is a consequence of an immune response to calcium phosphate crystals. Chondrocalcinosis is broadly considered the radiographic manifestation of CPPD regardless of whether it is asymptomatic or associated with inflammatory arthritis. CPPD is associated with osteoarthritis although the direction of such association is still unclear. Apart from the detection of CPP crystals in synovial fluid, imaging (mainly conventional radiography and increasingly ultrasound) plays a central role in the diagnosis of CPPD disease. Recently, CT has been added as a diagnostic tool, especially in deep anatomic locations such as crowned dens. To date, no treatment is effective in dissolving CPP crystals. For now, the focus of current treatment strategies remains inflammation control. Our aim is to review the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical and imaging manifestations of asymptomatic and symptomatic CPPD. We will also discuss recent consensus definitions and classifications of CPPD disease.
