Weight, height, waist circumference: association with knee osteoarthritis findings from the osteoarthritis initiative.
Article in Pain reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Global prevalence of knee osteoarthritis is more than 300 million. Uncontrollable risk factors include age, sex, and height. Controllable risk factors include trauma, weight, and waist circumference. Objectives: Our goal was to determine the association between knee osteoarthritis and anthropometric measures that include weight, height, and waist circumference. Methods: Using 4,602 participants (45-79 years) from the Osteoarthritis Initiative, we analyzed the association between knee osteoarthritis and anthropometry collectively and by sex. We calculated female and male tertiles (3 groups) for anthropometry. Results: Anthropometric measures were correlated with knee osteoarthritis ( Conclusion: Higher weight in female participants was a stronger predictor of increases in knee osteoarthritis discomforts when compared to waist circumference, while weight and waist circumference were almost equivalent in predicting increases in knee osteoarthritis for male participants. Height did not predict increases in knee osteoarthritis with the exception of female symptoms and quality of life. Quality of life for both sexes was the most unfavorable with female participants reporting a more unfavorable quality of life than male participants.
