The rheumatoid forefoot.
Article in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) manifests itself in a variety of ways, with its effect being seen in around 90 % of sufferers' feet. The foot has been found to be the most common reason for incapacity in patients with RA, with the forefoot the most common area. The foot is second, behind only the hand, as the most common place for manifestation of RA. Pain in the foot is commonly the most debilitating condition, which causes the patient to seek specialist help. As well as pain, foot deformities such as hallux valgus and claw toes are common complaints. These symptoms often arise as a result of continued walking on an unstable foot, leading to painful callosities and dislocation of the metatarsophalangeal joints. Other conditions, such as pannus formation and Morton's neuroma, can be related to RA. This review sets out what we believe to be a successful approach to the rheumatoid forefoot, which aims at the relief of pain and the preservation of ambulation. Key to a successful outcome is appropriate medical control with a multidisciplinary approach that enables close liaison between orthopaedic surgeons, orthotists, and rheumatologists. Combined clinics provide this multidisciplinary care. Those treating RA need to be aware of the high incidence of foot involvement and how early intervention may benefit the patient. The aim of this article is to present current evidence to enable people to develop a treatment algorithm for this condition.
