Article in Clinical medicine insights. Arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders, 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
Background: Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been recently proposed as a convenient and radiation-free imaging modality for the evaluation of systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease. Objectives: The current study evaluates the relation between LUS and both high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and capillaroscopy findings in patients with systemic sclerosis. Design: This cross-sectional study included 32 patients with systemic sclerosis. Methods: Besides clinical evaluation, all participants underwent LUS, HRCT, pulmonary function tests (PFT), and nailfold video-capillaroscopy (NVC). All participants' data were compared and correlated. Results: There is an excellent agreement between number of B-lines and HRCT score (interclass correlation = 0.864, Conclusion: The number of B-lines parallels the HRCT score and the extent of digital vascular damage as indicated by NVC and clinical digital ulcers. Lung ultrasound has proven to be a reliable radiation-free modality for screening of systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease and detecting its extent.
