Orthopedic Surgery Among Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Population-Based Study to Identify Risk Factors, Sex Differences, and Time Trends.
Article in Arthritis care & research, 2018. 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
objectiveTo identify risk factors for large-joint surgery (LJS) versus small-joint surgery (SJS) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and evaluate trends in surgery rates over time.
methodsA retrospective medical record review of all orthopedic surgeries following first fulfillment of the 1987 American College of Rheumatology criteria for adult-onset RA among residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota between 1980 and 2013 was performed. Risk factors were examined using Cox models adjusted for age, sex, and calendar year of RA incidence. Trends in incidence of joint surgeries were examined using Poisson regression models.
resultsA total of 1,077 patients with RA (mean age 56 years, 69% female, 66% seropositive for rheumatoid factor [RF] and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide [anti-CCP] antibodies) were followed for a median of 10.7 years, during which 112 patients (90 women) underwent at least 1 SJS and 204 (141 women) underwent at least 1 LJS. Risk factors included advanced age, and RF and anti-CCP antibody positivity for both SJS and LJS, and body mass index ≥30 kg/m
conclusionIn recent years, there has been a significant decline in the rates of SJS but not LJS in patients with RA. The incidence of SJS is higher among women. Traditional RA risk factors are strong predictors for SJS and LJS. Increasing age and obesity are predictive of LJS.
