Use of complementary and alternative medicine by arthritis patients in a university hospital clinic serving rheumatology patients in Korea.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
There is a paucity of data regarding the use of and attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among arthritis patients in Asia. This study was performed to assess the use of CAM, related demographic and clinical factors, and attitudes among Korean arthritis patients. We conducted a survey of patients in rheumatology clinics affiliated with a university hospital. One hundred fifty patients (68.5%) reported using at least one form of CAM during the previous 12 months. Herbal remedies and acupuncture were the most frequently used categories of CAM. Among the parameters analyzed, income level was significantly and negatively associated with frequent or regular use of CAM. Dialogue about CAM use with Korean patients does not seem to have been initiated yet, as the main reason given for not discussing CAM use with physicians was "not being asked."
