Musculoskeletal symptoms in systemic lupus erythematosus patients and their impact on health-related quality of life.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesTo evaluate the musculoskeletal (MSK) symptoms experienced by SLE patients and determine how those symptoms relate to their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study that was carried out on 103 adult SLE patients. sociodemographic, clinical, and therapeutic data were recruited. They were asked to complete the following: Nordic Musculoskeletal, Short-Form McGill Pain, and Lupus QoL Questionnaires.
resultsThe mean age was 30.81 ± 9.44 years. There was a total of 86 females and 17 males (F: M:5:1). Almost all the patients reported MSK symptoms (96.1%). The maximum number of patients reported pain in the right and left wrist and hand (64.1%, 63.1%, respectively). One-fourth (25.2%) described at least five bodily sites of MSK symptoms, while 70.9% had more than five sites of MSK symptoms. Most of the patients described the pain as discomforting (40.8%). Patients with MSK symptoms scored significantly worse in all domains. In addition, the QoL scores of patients with more than 5 body sites of MSK symptoms were significantly lower than those of patients with fewer than 5 sites of MSK symptoms.
conclusionSLE patients have a high MSK burden, and MSK symptoms have a negative impact on HRQoL in these patients.
