Pain and disability related to osteoarthrosis of the trapeziometacarpal joint.

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
We investigated the relationship between trapeziometacarpal arthrosis, pain, and upper extremity specific disability by surveying patients from a prior prevalence study. The 456 adult (age 18 or greater) patients from a prior prevalence study were mailed a questionnaire consisting of the full DASH outcome measure as well as additional questions to identify sources of pain other than the thumb, pain in the thumb and whether the patient has received treatment for thumb arthritis. A response rate of 27% was achieved (122 responses). Thumb pain correlated with pain elsewhere in the arm (r = 0.354, p < 0.001), but not with higher grades of arthrosis. The average DASH score was 9.9 [range 0-60.0]. Higher grades of arthrosis (p = 0.013), pain in the thumb (r = 0.602, p < 0.001) and pain elsewhere in the arm (r = 0.665, p < 0.001) were found to be predictors of a higher DASH score. Arthrosis grade explained only 3% of the variation of DASH scores in linear regression modeling, but was included in the best multivariable model-along with thumb pain and pain elsewhere in the arm-which explained 52% of the variation in DASH scores. Higher grades of trapeziometacarpal arthrosis do not correlate with complaints of thumb pain and have a significant, but very limited affect on arm-specific disability, compared to pain elsewhere in the arm.
