[Evaluation of driving fitness in patients with musculoskeletal disorders : A systematic review].
Synthesis in Der Unfallchirurg, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveDriving a motor vehicle is one of the most important aspects of personal mobility in our society. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding driving fitness after orthopedic or trauma surgery-related diseases. Aim of this systematic review was to support the treating physician to determine the individual driving fitness in patients with musculosceletal disorders. MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic analysis was performed using the PubMed database. Following a predefined algorithm, all relevant articles published from 2013 to 2018 were included.
resultsThe results were categorized according to the affected part of the body into I. lower extremity and II. upper extremity. Also, results were subcategorized into movement restrictions caused by external joint-braces, musculoskeletal diseases, and postoperative conditions.
conclusionThis article supports the treating physician to individually determine the driving fitness in patients with musculoskeletal disorders. However, only a few standardized tests exist to individually determine the driving fitness in patients with musculoskeletal disorders. A particular shortcoming was observed for impairments of the upper extremity.
