Impact of midfoot and Hindfoot involvement on functional disability in Korean patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundFoot involvement in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients has been reported to severely affect functional capacity and quality of life. We aimed to determine the impact of midfoot and hindfoot involvement on functional disability in Korean patients with RA.
methodsWe evaluated the RA involvement and deformity of three regions of the foot (forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot) and ankle using conventional radiography in Korean patients with RA. We compared the clinical features between RA patients with and without foot or ankle involvement. Using multivariable logistic regression analyses, the impact of midfoot or hindfoot involvement on functional disability in RA patients was evaluated.
resultsOverall, 120 patients with a median age of 48.0 [interquartile range (IQR), 37-56] years and median disease duration of 58.0 (IQR, 10-89) months were included. The prevalence of foot or ankle RA involvement was 74 (61.7%). The number of patients with forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot and ankle involvement was 32 (43.2%), 24 (32.4%), 46 (62.2%) and 4 (5.4%), respectively. Compared to patients without foot or ankle involvement those with such involvement had greater disease activity and functional disability, more of them were treated with biologic agents, and they had a lower health-related quality of life. After adjusting for potential confounders, hindfoot involvement was associated with a higher degree of functional disability. However, walking difficulty was more associated with midfoot involvement rather than with involvement in other regions.
conclusionsIn Korean patients with RA, hindfoot involvement is associated with functional disability and midfoot involvement affects walking.
