Lumbar spine radiographic features and demographic, clinical, and radiographic knee, hip, and hand osteoarthritis.
Article in Arthritis care & research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
objectiveTo determine the prevalence of lumbar spine individual radiographic features (IRFs) of disc space narrowing (DSN), osteophytes (OST), and facet joint osteoarthritis (FOA); to describe the frequencies of demographic, clinical, and radiographic knee, hip, and hand osteoarthritis (OA) across lumbar spine IRFs; and to determine factors associated with lumbar spine IRFs.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 840 participants enrolled in the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project (2003-2004). Sample-based prevalence estimates were generated for each lumbar spine IRF. The associations between lumbar spine IRFs and demographic, clinical, and peripheral joint OA were determined with logistic regression models.
resultsSample-based prevalence estimates were similar for DSN (57.6%) and FOA (57.9%) but higher for OST (88.1%), with significant differences across race and sex. Hand and knee OA frequencies increased across IRFs, whereas the effect was absent for hip OA. African Americans had lower odds of FOA (adjusted odds ratio [OR(adj) ] 0.45 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.32-0.62]), while there was no racial association with DSN and OST. Low back symptoms were associated with DSN (OR(adj) 1.37 [95% CI 1.04-1.80]) but not OST or FOA. Knee OA was associated with OST (OR(adj) 1.62 [95% CI 1.16-2.27]) and FOA (OR(adj) 1.69 [95% CI 1.15-2.49]) but not DSN. Hand OA was associated with FOA (OR(adj) 1.67 [95% CI 1.20-2.28]) but not with DSN or OST. No associations were found with hip OA.
conclusionThese findings underscore the importance of analyzing lumbar spine IRFs separately as the associations with demographic, clinical, and radiographic knee, hip, and hand OA differ widely.
