Obesity among women may increase the risk of arthritis: observations from the Canadian Community Health Survey, 2007-2008.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Cross-sectional data from the 2007 to 2008 Canadian Community Health Survey were used to investigate the joint effect of obesity and female on the prevalence of arthritis. A total of 94,758 subjects (44,282 men and 50,476 women) aged 18 years or over who answered the question concerning arthritis were included, and sampling weights and design effects were taken into account in the analysis. The prevalence of arthritis among obese (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m(2)) men was 18.0 % and 29.8 % among obese women. The adjusted prevalence ratio for obesity associated with arthritis was 1.45 (95 % confidence interval 1.39, 1.52) for women and 1.38 (confidence interval 1.29, 1.47) for men. The combined effect of obesity and female sex was more than additivity, with the relative excess risk due to the interaction being 0.21 (95 % confidence interval 0.09, 0.32). Obesity is likely to have a larger effect on women with arthritis than men.
