1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Osteoarthritis has a major impact on mobility and functioning leading to impairment in activities of daily living and quality of life. The aim of our analysis was to reveal the prevalence of self-reported, doctor-diagnosed osteoarthritis with a representative population based survey, including data for 15,474 subjects. Prevalence of osteoarthritis was 11.9 % in men and 18.6 % in women. A total of 73.4 % of men and 74.9 % of women with osteoarthritis reported to have had severe pain in the last 12 months; 60.3 % of male and 67.0 % of female patients reported that the disease was treated within the last 12 months. Age, socio-economic parameters, overweight and obesity, as well as living in a rural area were significant predictors of osteoarthritis. Even if the onset of osteoarthritis may not be averted, public health and prevention programmes may improve quality of life significantly if they are adequately tuned to sex, age and personal capabilities.
