Ability to Participate in Social Activities of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Compared with Other Rheumatic Diseases: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 compare the ability to participate in social activities among rheumatoid arthritis patients with other rheumatic disease patients and identify potentially implicated factors. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween June and November 2019, we consecutively selected patients aged ≥18 years with RA (defined according to ACR/EULAR 2010), SpA (ASAS/EULAR 2010), and SLE (ACR 1997).
main outcome measuresAbility to participate in social roles and activities evaluated using the PROMIS score v2.0 short-form 8a (PROMIS-APS). SECONDARY OUTCOMES: Participation in social activities according to a series of variables (mobility, depression, satisfaction with social relationships, social isolation, company, emotional support, instrumental support, and support via information). We evaluated the association between the ability to participate in social activities and associated variables using multivariable linear regression analysis.
resultsThe study population comprised 50 patients with RA (33.1%), 51 patients (33.8%) with SpA, and 50 patients (33.1%) with SLE. The mean PROMIS-APS scores were similar in the three groups. The multivariable analysis for the whole sample showed that the ability to participate in social activities was inversely associated with depression and directly with social satisfaction, mobility, company, and age. The stratified analysis revealed an inverse association between inflammatory activity and ability to participate in social activities in patients with RA and SpA, but not in those with SLE.
conclusionAll patients with RA, SpA, and SLE had a similar ability to participate in social activities. This was associated with other psychosocial factors (social satisfaction, mobility, company, depression) and clinical factors (age and inflammatory activity).
