Perspectives of patients and health professionals on the experience of living with psoriatic arthritis-related foot problems: a qualitative investigation.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to explore how foot problems impact on the lives of people with psoriatic arthritis by interviewing patients and health professionals.
methodParticipants were recruited from outpatient rheumatology clinics in Sydney, Australia, and in Auckland, New Zealand, using a convenience sampling strategy. People with psoriatic arthritis were asked questions in semi-structured interviews about their foot problems and the impact they have on daily living until qualitative data saturation. Focus groups were undertaken with health professionals to explore their understanding of the patient experience of psoriatic arthritis-related foot problems. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Constant comparative analysis was used to identify emerging themes from the data.
resultsTwenty-one people with psoriatic arthritis-related foot problems and 17 health professionals participated. Three overarching key themes were derived from patients and health professionals: (1) structural and functional foot manifestations, (2) impact on daily life leading to social withdrawal and reduced work productivity and (3) mediating factors influencing the severity of impact from foot problems on their lives such as social support, self-management strategies and experiences of health care.
conclusionFoot problems caused functional disability and altered self-concept, which lead to a cascade of social, economic and psychological consequences. People with foot problems contend with profound disruption to their functioning and life roles. Whilst health professionals recognised the functional and visual impact that foot problems have on daily life, the emotional burden may be under-appreciated. Future work to determine the scale and types of foot problems in psoriatic arthritis is required.
