Hand function in female patients with hand osteoarthritis: relation with radiological progression.
Article in Hand (New York, N.Y.), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the effect of hand osteoarthritis (HOA) on hand strength, dexterity, and upper extremity functional scores, as well as to determine the relation of radiological severity of HOA with these parameters.
methodsSixty patients and 40 controls were enrolled in the study. The presence of hand pain, nodes, and tenderness in hand joints was determined. Grip and pinch strengths were measured by Jamar dynamometer and pinch meter, dexterity was assessed by Purdue pegboard test, and upper extremity function was determined by disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) test. Hand radiographs were evaluated according to the Kallman grading scale.
resultsThe mean age of the patients and control subjects were 58.9 ± 4.8 and 56.6 ± 5.8 years, respectively. The level of hand pain and tenderness, and the number of nodes were significantly higher in the patient group than in control subjects. The mean grip and pinch strengths were lower in the patient group,: however, the difference was significant only in left lateral and left three chuck pinch. In hand dexterity, all scores except Purdue 1 were significantly lower in the patient group. In the functional evaluation DASH outcome, questionnaire scores of the patient and control groups were 48.3 ± 26.3 and 39.5 ± 23.5, respectively (p > 0.05). In the patient group, Kallman scores indicating radiological severity were found to be correlated with age, DASH scores, grip and pinch strengths, and Purdue scores (except Purdue assembly). Pain by visual analog scale was significantly higher in the patient group and correlated significantly with DASH scores.
conclusionIn patients with HOA, using standardized tests for evaluations may not be adequate. The determination of grip-pinch strength, dexterity and functional disability will lead to a clearer definition of the needs of the patients and will likely increase the gains from the rehabilitation programs.
