How to assess the impact of arthritis on the individual patient: the WHO ICF.
Review in Annals of the rheumatic diseases, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
The ICF is not only a comprehensive and adequate framework for assessing the impact of arthritis on individual patients but also its impact on populations. The ICF framework and applications such as the ICF Core Sets for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and low back pain are therefore likely to be used extensively not only in clinical practice but also in outcomes and rehabilitation research, education, health statistics, and regulation.
