The Prevalence of Neck and Shoulder Symptoms and Associations with Comorbidities and Disability: The Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project.
Article in Myopain. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesNeck and shoulder pain are common but underreported by older people, raising important questions of frequency, medical comorbidities, gender and racial disparities and functional impact associated with neck and shoulder symptoms in elders, which we examined in this analysis.
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional analysis in the community-based Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project, a cohort that is representative of the U.S. population, utilizing data from 1672 participants with a mean age of 68 years; 69% were white and 68% were women. Trained staff obtained data on participant-reported: symptoms, comorbidities, depression, and functional status; and performance-based functional assessments. Regression models of neck and shoulder symptoms and functional measures were adjusted for age, sex, race, and body mass index, and additionally for other joint symptoms and comorbidities.
resultsSymptoms of neck (8%), shoulder (13%) or both (13%) were reported by participants. Neck symptoms were most frequently reported by White women; shoulder symptoms were evenly distributed among race and gender subgroups. Neck and shoulder symptoms were associated with cancer, diabetes mellitus, depression, and lung, cardiovascular, and other musculoskeletal problems, as well as pain, aching or stiffness at other sites, and independently with self-reported and performance -based functional measures.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that primary health care providers should inquire about neck and shoulder symptoms and address potential underlying causes to improve functional status and decrease disability in older people.
