Review in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe increasing importance of ultrasound in paediatric rheumatology is reflected in many scientific projects, in the increasing number of training courses and in its everyday use. Several international working groups have been working in the last few years to develop standardised examination protocols for joint sonography. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe article summarises the current progress in ultrasound diagnostics in children and adolescents with rheumatic diseases, and discusses technical developments, improved training opportunities, the implementation in the treat-to-target management and the extension to other fields of application in paediatric rheumatology.
resultsTo determine disease activity and to describe pathological findings, sonographic definitions were agreed upon, taking into account age-dependent changes in the musculoskeletal system, and first paediatric scoring systems were tested in validation studies. Several publications in the last few years have shown that joint sonography is superior to clinical examination in certain joint regions. Several studies have also demonstrated its important role in therapy and follow-up monitoring. Even outside of the joint regions, such as in the depiction of salivary glands or muscles, ultrasound is gaining increasing importance in paediatric and adolescent rheumatology.
conclusionAdvances in technical development and expertise in the field of ultrasound have led to ultrasound becoming an important tool in the care of children and adolescents with rheumatic diseases.
