Motion analysis of the wrist joints in Chinese rheumatoid arthritis patients: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05068050 (Clinical, Data Collection, Multicenter, Randomized Trial to Determine the Effect of Therapeutic Riding Compared With Physical Activity on a Group of People With Arthritis), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe wrist is often severely affected in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients; however, little is known about the potential risk factors of the reduced wrist range of motion. In this study, we explored a broad range of possible risk factors of wrist range of motion in RA patients. We also determined whether measurements of wrist range of motion reflect Sharp score for the wrists.
methodsActive wrist volar flexion, dorsal flexion, radial deviation and ulnar deviation were assessed using a goniometer. RA patients underwent standardized laboratory and radiographic examinations and completed several questionnaires. A linear regression model was used to study association between the wrist range of motion and independent variables. In addition, Spearman and Pearson correlation analysis were used to compare influence factors and outcome measurements between the measurements of wrist range of motion and Sharp score for the wrists.
resultsIn this study, lower socioeconomic status, longer disease duration, severe pain, higher disease activity and drug treatments were associated with reduced wrist range of motion in RA patients (n = 102, 86.3% female, mean ± SD age, 55.0 ± 11.7 years, and mean ± SD disease duration, 8.4 ± 8.7 years). Furthermore, wrist range of motion was highly correlated with Sharp score for the wrists (P < 0.05).
conclusionsSocioeconomic status and disease-specific factors were significantly associated with wrist range of motion in RA patients. The results indicated that rheumatologists and nurses should note the measurements of wrist range of motion in RA patients, especially those with a low socioeconomic status, a long disease duration, severe pain, and high disease activity to develop strategies to improve their quality of life.
