1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo assess the functional status in a cohort of Iraqi patients with knee Osteoarthritis (OA) and its relation to demographic and clinical features. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 patients with knee OA diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology Criteria for classification knee OA. Patients' age, gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking history, educational level, and disease duration were recorded. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score was used to measure functional status of patients with knee OA.

resultsA total of 150 (97 females) patients with knee OA were recruited in the study. The mean age of patients was 52.5±10.1 year and mean BMI was 30.3±6.0 kg/m

conclusionsFunctional status in knee OA was impaired and there was a statistically positive significant correlation between age of the patients and severity of knee OA with functional impairment. Also, significant negative correlation was demonstrated between educational level and functional impairment.
