Patients with osteoarthritis are least likely to receive lifestyle advice compared with patients with diabetes and hypertension: A national health survey study from Denmark.

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
Objectives: To investigate the association between having osteoarthritis (OA), hypertension, or diabetes, either alone or in combination, and receiving guideline-recommended exercise or weight-reduction advice. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: We applied logistic regression to analyse self-reported data from the 2017 Danish National Health survey (DNHS). We calculated the proportions and odds ratios of receiving exercise advice and weight-reduction advice (if BMI>30) from the general practitioner (GP) in seven patient groups: those with OA or hypertension or diabetes or any combination of these diseases. Results: From the 183,372 DNHS responders, we included 71,717 patients (≥45 years) who reported consulting a GP during the previous year. Among patients with only one disease, those with OA were least likely to receive exercise advice (13%, 1441/11,024) and weight-reduction advice (27%, 504/1877), while those with diabetes were most likely to receive these advice (32%, 387/1200 and 55%, 160/289, respectively).For OA-only patients, the adjusted odds ratios of receiving exercise advice and weight-reduction advice were 1.4 (95% CI 1.3 to 1.5) and 1.6 (95% CI 1.4 to 1.8), respectively, compared with patients with none of the three diseases. For diabetes-only patients, the adjusted odds ratios were 4.2 (95% CI 3.7 to 4.7) and 5.4 (95% CI 4.2 to 7.0), respectively. Conclusion: Few patients with OA self-reported having received guideline-recommended exercise advice, or weight-reduction advice if obese, from their GP. Furthermore, patients with OA were less likely to report having received these advice compared with patients with other chronic diseases.
