Foot health in patients with rheumatoid arthritis-a scoping review.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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 affects joints and can cause significant impairments in daily life. The foot is often the first site of symptoms and foot problems are strongly related to RA. The aim of this review was, therefore, to describe foot health in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to identify how patients perform foot self-care. With this knowledge interventions to support foot health and functional ability in RA patients can be developed. The design of the review was a scoping review. A systematic literature search of three electronic databases, MEDLINE, CINAHL and Embase, was conducted in June 2016. The search yielded 1205 studies, of which 32 were selected for the review. The data were analysed by means of content analysis. Foot problems in RA patients are prevalent and impair their daily activities. Foot pain and foot structural deformities were the most prevalent problems. RA patients have difficulties caring their own feet and in finding proper footwear. Many different instruments were used to measure different aspects of foot health. Patients with RA have a high prevalence of foot and ankle problems. These foot problems are a major burden to patients themselves. RA patients' ability to self-care ability can be diminished, since RA also affects joints in the hands. In future cross-cultural validation studies are needed to ensure psychometrically sound instrumentation. Methods to alleviate foot pain and to prevent foot problems in RA patients need to be developed and tested.
