Temporal Artery Biopsies: Understanding the Low Positivity Rate.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective We compared the yield of temporal artery biopsies with the clinical diagnoses made by referring physicians and determined the factors associated with a positive biopsy. Methods This is a monocentric, retrospective analytical study of patients treated between January 2021 and December 2024 who underwent temporal artery biopsy for suspected giant cell arteritis. The primary endpoint was the biopsy positivity rate. We also studied patient-related factors, symptoms, and clinical variables, including surgical and pathological factors, to identify those associated with a positive biopsy result. Results The study included 72 patients (40 females, 32 males). General health deterioration (OR = 3.71,
