Role of Cardiac Imaging in the Evaluation of Rheumatoid Arthiritis: A Systematic Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 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
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting the joints with extensive systemic inflammation. Cardiovascular deaths are one of the most common causes of death among RA patients. We performed an intensive literature review of abstracts, including the use of cardiac imaging in the evaluation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis from databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar libraries. Clinical trials, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and systematic reviews were included. Review papers, animal studies, and studies without the role of cardiac imaging were excluded. We used quality appraisal tools including the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist, Cochrane Bias Tool, Newcastle-Ottawa Tool Scale, Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) checklist, and the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA). Echocardiography, carotid ultrasound, myocardial stress single-photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were found to have good efficacy to detect ventricular dysfunction, subclinical atherosclerosis, perfusion defects, and myocardial fibrosis, respectively. Latest technological advancements in deep learning and machine learning-based algorithms could facilitate the incorporation of cardiac imaging for risk assessment in RA patients.
