Limitations in Activities of Daily Living Among Individuals With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Article in Arthritis care & research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveWe aimed to estimate the burden and identify potential correlates of limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) among persons with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
methodsIndividuals with SLE were recruited from a population-based cohort (October 2019 to May 2022) and reported their ability to independently perform various instrumental ADLs (IADLs) and basic ADLs (BADLs) via survey. Limitations were defined as having at least some difficulty performing at least one of the IADLs or BADLs. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and associations (adjusted odds ratios [aORs]) of various participant characteristics with IADL and BADL limitations were assessed with logistic regression adjusting for age, sex, and race.
resultsThe mean age of the 436 participants was 46.2 years; most were female (91.7%) and Black (82.8%). More than half (56.2%) reported limitations in IADLs, most commonly housekeeping (50.7%), laundry (37.2%), and shopping (33.0%); 43.8% reported limitations in independently performing BADLs, most commonly transferring (26.6%), bathing (25.3%), dressing (24.4%), and continence (22.0%). Higher disease activity (greater than or equal to vs less than the median) was strongly associated with IADLs (aOR 6.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.15-10.2) and BADLs (aOR 7.35, 95% CI 4.70-11.5), along with higher depression and perceived stress scores, lower educational attainment and income, and older age.
conclusionIADL and BADL limitations may be common in individuals with SLE and more prevalent among those who report higher disease activity, depressive symptoms, and lower income and among those who are older. Research to support evidence-based strategies for improvement in quality of life and maintenance of independence in the older SLE population is warranted.
