Epidemiology of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases in a Nigerian peri-urban community: results of a cross-sectional survey using the COPCORD stage 1 model.
Article in Reumatologia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: There is relative neglect of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). While hospital-based reports on RMDs abound, there is a paucity of population-based reports on these conditions which are otherwise recognized to cause functional disability and reduced quality of life in the affected individuals. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine the prevalence, diagnostic types, and predictors of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in Agbowa, a peri-urban community in Lagos, South-West Nigeria. Material and methods: This community-based survey utilized the World Health Organisation/International League of Association of Rheumatology Community Oriented Programme for the Control of Rheumatic Diseases (WHO/ILAR COPCORD) stage 1 model. All respondents had their profiles documented via modified COPCORD questionnaires. Pain intensity and functional disability were assessed by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Health Assessment Questionnaires Disability Index (HAQ-DI) respectively. The rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases were classified using relevant validated criteria. Data obtained were analysed using SPSS Version 21. Results: There were 3056 respondents who were predominantly female (59.2%). The period prevalence of MSK pain among the 3056 respondents was 58% ( Conclusions: The burden and impacts of these conditions are considerable. Thus, the government needs to devise programmes and policies to limit the effects of RMDs in such communities.
