Factors associated with pain and functional limitation in Japanese male patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 present study investigated factors associated with knee pain and functional limitation in knee OA patients. Subjects were 109 Japanese males who were newly diagnosed with knee OA at three university hospitals over a 1-year period. Knee pain and functional limitation in walking and climbing and/or descending stairs were selected as outcome measures. To assess factors associated with outcomes, we calculated odds ratios (OR) using logistic regression analysis. Taller height (> or =163 vs. <163 cm) showed a negative association with knee pain, "Pain on walking": OR = 0.08, 95% confidence interval = 0.01-0.79; "Pain on stairs": 0.25, 0.08-0.82. A significant characteristic related to a lesser degree of functional disability was alcohol consumption ("Waking distance": 0.34, 0.14-0.84; "Help on stairs": 0.21, 0.09-0.51). In the present study, knee pain was associated with shorter height in male Japanese patients with knee OA. Functional limitation was associated with no consumption of alcohol.
