Health-related quality of life in patients with Kashin-Beck disease is lower than in those with osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundKashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic deformable bone and joint disease, which affects the quality of life (QOL) of patients. We conducted a cross-sectional study of the QOL of KBD patients by a new KBD quality of life (KBDQOL) questionnaire.
methodsA total of 252 KBD patients and 248 OA patients came from Northwest China, and 260 healthy people living in the same area as KBD and osteoarthritis (OA) patients served as the controls. KBDQOL questionnaire was used to evaluate the QOL of all objects.
resultsThe average scores for physical functions, activity limitations, support of society, mental health and general health were significantly lower in KBD patients than that in OA patients and healthy people except for economics. Monofactor analysis showed that age, height, weight status, education level and grade of KBD had a significant effect on KBDQOL score. Multivariate analysis showed that grade of KBD was the influencing factor of physical function score; gender, age, height, grade of KBD and duration of symptoms were the influencing factors of activity restriction score; age and grade of KBD were factors affecting the general health score.
conclusionThe QOL of KBD patients was significantly lower than that of OA patients and healthy people. The KBDQOL questionnaire may be a promising tool for assessing the QOL of KBD patients.
