Impaired hand function and performance in activities of daily living in systemic lupus erythematosus, even in patients achieving lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS).
Article in Rheumatology advances in practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveThe aim was to examine hand function and performance in activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with SLE
methodsHand function (grip strength, pinch strength and dexterity) and ADL performance were evaluated in 240 patients with SLE and 122 age- and biological sex-matched healthy controls. Grip strength, pinch strength and dexterity were measured by Jamar dynamometer, pinch gauge and Purdue pegboard test, respectively. Self-reported ADL performance was assessed by disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) and HAQ. Regression analysis was performed to assess the determinants of hand dysfunction.
resultsAll hand function and ADL performance variables were significantly impaired in the entire SLE cohort and the subgroup of patients achieving lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS;
conclusionHand function and performance of daily activities are significantly impaired in SLE, even in patients who achieve LLDAS, suggesting the need for their evaluation and management in clinical practice.
