Types of pain and their psychosocial impact in women with rheumatoid arthritis.
Review in Women's midlife health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease predominantly affecting middle-aged women. Very commonly, pain is a manifestation of active disease and because untreated RA can result in joint deformities, the current evaluation of pain has largely focused on inflammation. In addition, treatment has centered on the premise of reducing disease activity with the hopes of halting worsening damage, preventing future deformities, and ultimately providing pain relief for the patient. Yet research shows that all patients with RA, but women in particular, often suffer from increased mechanical pain and fibromyalgia, as well as anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, and disability, which add to the burden of the illness. Determining and addressing alternative pain triggers as well as understanding the psychosocial burden of RA is key in treating patients, especially in those who may not improve with traditional pharmacotherapy.
