Associations of Arthritis-Attributable Interference with Routine Life Activities: A Modifiable Source of Compromised Quality-of-Life.
Article in ACR open rheumatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveArthritis patients experience the impact of disease beyond routinely assessed clinical measures. We characterized arthritis-attributable interference in four important routine life domains: 1) recreation/leisure/hobbies; 2) household chores; 3) errands/shopping; and 4) social activities.
methodsParticipants were from the Arthritis Conditions Health Effects Survey (2005-2006), a cross-sectional survey of noninstitutionalized US adults 45 years or older with doctor-diagnosed arthritis (n = 1793). We estimated the prevalence of "a lot" of arthritis-attributable interference and quantified the associations between sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological characteristics and "a lot" of arthritis-attributable interference (vs "a little" or "none") in each domain using prevalence ratios (PRs) in multivariable (MV)-adjusted logistic regression models.
resultsAn estimated 1 in 5 to 1 in 4 adults with arthritis reported "a lot" of arthritis-attributable interference in recreation/leisure/hobbies (27%), household chores (25%), errands/shopping (22%), and social activities (18%). The highest prevalence of "a lot" of arthritis-attributable interference was for those unable to work/disabled or reporting severe arthritis symptoms (pain, stiffness, fatigue), anxiety, depression, or no/low confidence in ability to manage arthritis, across domains. In MV-adjusted models, those unable to work/disabled, currently seeing a doctor, or reporting fair/poor self-rated health, severe joint pain, anxiety, or no/low confidence in ability to manage arthritis were more likely to report arthritis-attributable interference than their respective counterparts. Magnitudes varied by domain but were consistently strongest for those unable to work/disabled (MV PR range = 1.8-2.5) and with fair/poor health (MV PR range = 1.7-2.7).
conclusionMany characteristics associated with arthritis-attributable interference in routine life activities are potentially modifiable, suggesting unmet need for use of existing evidence-based interventions that address these characteristics and reduce interferences to improve quality of life.
