The association between agricultural activities and arthritis in middle-aged and elderly people: Findings from a cohort study based on CHARLS.

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
The number of arthritis samples in China has been increasing. Currently, there is limited research on the relationship between agricultural activities and arthritis. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between agricultural activities and arthritis risk based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). A total of 694 participants from the 2015 CHARLS study were included, with 443 samples as controls and 251 samples classified as affected. Baseline characteristics of all participants were compared using the Student t-test and Chi-square test. Subsequently, the association between agricultural activities and arthritis risk was explored through multivariable generalized linear models (GLM) and weighted logistic regression models. Additionally, the diagnostic performance and clinical utility of agricultural activities for arthritis were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and decision curve analysis. Finally, the difference in model prediction performance before and after adjusting for covariates was assessed using the net reclassification index (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). Five covariates showed significant associations with arthritis, and agricultural activities had a significant effect (P = 0.026). Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was observed between agricultural activities and arthritis (Model 1: odds ratio (OR)=1.44, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.06-1.97, P = 0.021; Model 2: OR=1.61, 95%CI: 1.17-2.24, P = 0.004; Model 3: OR=1.74, 95%CI: 1.17-2.60, P = 0.007). Risk stratification analysis further indicated that agricultural activities were a risk factor for arthritis (OR=1.736, 95%CI: 1.168-2.597, P < 0.01). Moreover, after adjusting for covariates, ROC curve analysis and decision curve analysis demonstrated good predictive performance of agricultural activities for arthritis. Lastly, the NRI and IDI indices indicated that Model 3 outperformed Models 1 and 2 in prediction performance. In conclusion, a significant positive correlation existed between agricultural activities and arthritis risk, providing insights for the early detection and prevention of arthritis.
