Does the 1-year Decline in Walking Speed Predict Mortality Risk Beyond Current Walking Speed in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis?
Article in The Journal of rheumatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo investigate whether walking speed at 1 timepoint, decline over the past 12 months, or both predict mortality risk over 11 years in adults with, or at risk of, knee osteoarthritis (OA).
methodsUsing the data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative, we defined slow versus adequate walking speed as walking < 1.22 versus ≥ 1.22 m/s on a 20m walk test during the 12-month follow-up visit. We defined meaningful decline (yes/no) as slowing ≥ 0.08 m/s over the past year. At the 12-month visit, we classified adequate sustainers as those with adequate walking speed and no meaningful decline, slow sustainers as slow walking speed and no meaningful decline, adequate decliners as adequate walking speed and meaningful decline, and slow decliners as slow walking speed and meaningful decline. Mortality was recorded over 11 years. To examine the association of walking speed with mortality, HR and 95% CI were calculated using Cox regression, adjusted for potential confounders.
resultsOf 4229 participants in the analytic sample (58% female, age 62 ± 9 yrs, BMI 29 ± 5 kg/m
conclusionIn adults with, or at risk of, knee OA, walking slower than 1.22 m/s in the present increased mortality risk, regardless of decline over the previous year.
