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

introductionrheumatoid arthritis (RA) dramatically affects the quality of life of patients. The objective of our study was to study the link between the activity of the disease and the quality of life of Guinean (Conakry) and Cameroonian patients with RA.

methodspilot multicentric cross-sectional study (Ignace Dean National Hospital of Conakry in Guinea and Efoulan Yaoundé District Hospital in Cameroon) for 15 months (1

resultsfifty-two patients, 82% of whom were women. The total EMIR score was 5.06±0.50 as a relatively impaired quality of life. Alteration of quality of life was more marked on psychic components (6.78±0.99) and pain (5.37±0.99). The work component was the least affected (4.03±0.98). DAS28 was significantly related to psychic components (p=0.036, R=0.29), pain (p=0.076, R=0.25), physical (p=0.0029, R=0.41), and at the overall quality of life (total EMIR) (p=0.027, R=0.31).

conclusionthe most significant of RA on quality of life was related to pain (EVA-pain) and RA activity (DAS 28). The results of this pilot study will have to be confirmed by a largest study.
