A multidisciplinary, cross-sectorial management program for people living with hand osteoarthritis (HANDY): protocol for a feasibility study.
Article in Pilot and feasibility studies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06254105 (Feasibility of a Cross-sectorial Management Program in Hand Osteoarthritis), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundPeople with hand osteoarthritis (HOA) experience difficulties performing activities of daily living (ADL). Referral for occupational therapy is rare despite support for non-pharmacological interventions by international treatment recommendations. HANDY, a multidisciplinary cross-sectorial management program for people with HOA, includes procedures for needs evaluation and referral for occupational therapy performed by general practitioners (GPs) as well as a group-based occupational therapy intervention delivered in municipal rehabilitation settings. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of this first version of the HANDY program (HANDY 1.0).
methodsA feasibility study will be conducted in two municipalities and related general practices to evaluate aspects of the content and delivery of the HANDY program. In accordance with international guidelines for evaluation of feasibility, the aspects evaluated include: intervention development, intervention components, perceived values, benefits, harms or unintended consequences, acceptability in principle, feasibility and acceptability in practice, and fidelity, reach, and dose. Participants will be recruited among people with HOA when visiting their GP, GPs themselves, and occupational therapy clinicians employed in municipal rehabilitation settings. Each municipality will offer the group-based occupational therapy intervention twice, each time involving up to eight participants with HOA. Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected based on registration forms, logbooks, assessments of ADL ability, and qualitative interviews.
conclusionsThis study will be the first to examine the feasibility of the content and delivery of the multidisciplinary, cross-sectorial management program HANDY for people living with HOA. It will enable us to determine whether to proceed to a pilot randomized controlled trial evaluating aspects related to trial design, conduct, and processes.
