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
introductionRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory and multiple-system disorder of connective tissue. It frequently affects joints and periarticular structures of feet that constitute a significant supporting element underlying normal gait and motion of the body centre of gravity. The aim of the study was to evaluate foot deformities on the basis of plantography examination in RA patients according to the severity of the disease. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study was performed on 54 RA patients. The control group consisted of 34 volunteers free of any disorders. Plantography examination was carried out by means of a CQ ST2K podoscope. The following parameters were applied to the assessment of the disturbances of foot statics: hallux valgus angle (α), Sztriter-Godunow index (KY), Wejsflog's index (Wwp) and Clarke's angle (CL).
resultsMarkedly higher values of the α angle were noted in RA patients, reflecting the presence of hallux valgus. Moreover, values of the α angle were higher in patients in the third stage of radiological changes than those in the second one. On the other hand, values of Clarke's angle for the right foot were significantly higher in men in the second and third stage of RA compared to the control group. The most common deformities in RA patients include HV and transverse flat foot, more explicit in women in the third stage of RA.
conclusionsPlantography examination has been shown to constitute a useful diagnostic tool for assessment and monitoring of foot deformities in RA patients.
