[Obesity and arthritis].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
An increasing prevalence and incidence of osteoarthritis especially in aging populations results in different socioeconomic problems. Recent studies have shown an association between osteoarthritis and overweight especially for knee and hip joints. The mechanisms responsible for the destruction of joints are still unknown, however. Obesity and overweight can lead to higher force transmission on joints at least in lower extremities, but mechanical factors hardly explain the association between overweight and hand osteoarthritis shown in different studies. There may be additional metabolic effects responsible for cartilage destruction, but distinct mechanisms have not been demonstrated up to now. They would, however, support preventive measures as well as therapeutic approaches.
