Changing health behaviours in rheumatology: an introduction to behavioural economics.
Review in Nature reviews. Rheumatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Although the management of patients with rheumatic diseases has evolved substantially over the past 20 to 30 years, lifestyle changes (such as weight reduction, physical activity and medication adherence) remain an important and unmet challenge in improving patient outcomes. The field of behavioural economics considers the many ways that individuals behave irrationally and uses the predictability of these patterns to create opportunities to anticipate and avoid or harness these behaviours to improve patient outcomes. Existing among other motivational approaches, the concepts in behavioural economics have only been applied to health care in the past 10 to 15 years. Although few published examples have applied behavioural economic concepts in the management of patients with rheumatic diseases specifically, these concepts have been applied in other chronic diseases, and such interventions could also be applicable in rheumatology. In this Perspectives article, we introduce six principles in behavioural economics (loss aversion, framing effect, present bias, status quo bias, time inconsistency and social normalization), discuss how these concepts have been addressed in other fields and examine their potential application in rheumatology. Using physical activity as an example, we describe how these concepts could be applied to promote healthy behaviour in patients with inflammatory arthritis.
