Structural damage of the hand in hand osteoarthritis: impact on function, pain, and satisfaction.
Article in Hippokratia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAs hand osteoarthritis (HOA) is a highly prevalent disease, the purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between structural damage of the hand in HOA patients and assess its impact on their hand function, pain, and satisfaction.
methodsThis prospective cross-sectional study included 60 postmenopausal women aged 60-70 years, all of whom underwent structural damage assessments using the Kellgren-Lawrence scale and the Altman Atlas, as well as completed the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) to assess their hand function, pain, and satisfaction. To examine the influence of HOA grade on these outcomes, patients were segregated into three groups (grade II-IV), and their average MHQ subscale scores were compared.
resultsThe three groups differed in terms of scores achieved on all MHQ subscales: overall hand function-right hand (H =35.42, p <0.001), overall hand function-left hand (H =29.94, p <0.001), activities of daily living-right hand (H =39.88, p <0.001), activities of daily living-left hand (H =33.82, p <0.001), activities of daily living-both hands (H =30.93, p <0.001), activities of daily living-total (H =37.81, p <0.001), work performance (H =32.33, p <0.001), pain-right hand (H =27.94, p <0.001), pain-left hand (H =24.63, p <0.001), appearance-right hand (H =26.28, p <0.001), appearance-left hand (H =23.82, p <0.001), satisfaction-right hand (H =22.40, p =0.001), and satisfaction-left hand (H =26.71, p <0.001).
conclusionThe study findings reveal that respondents with more severe structural damage experienced more significant pain, reported greater functional and work-related limitations, and were more dissatisfied with the function and appearance of their hands. HIPPOKRATIA 2022, 26 (1):7-12.
