Patterns and changes in lifestyle habits of patients with rheumatoid arthritis during the first three years post-diagnosis.
Article in Rheumatology (Oxford, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), describe patterns and changes in healthy lifestyle habits (HLHs: alcohol use, smoking and physical activity) from diagnosis of RA to three years post-diagnosis, and to identify factors associated with having multiple HLHs.
methodsPatients' data were collected from the Swedish Epidemiological Investigation of RA (EIRA). Physical activity (PA) was categorized to be on a healthy level if >120 min/week at moderate intensity. Smoking was categorized as smoking/non-smoking. Alcohol consumption of <120 g/week was deemed healthy. Participants were grouped by number of HLHs: none, one, two or three. Factors associated with having three HLHs at year three were analysed using logistic factor regression.
resultsAmong 1097 participants, 56% had three HLHs at baseline, increasing slightly to 58% at year three. Non-smoking increased from 77% to 83%, and healthy alcohol use from 85% to 97%. However, the proportion of participants who achieved a healthy level PA decreased from 84% to 71%. Having three HLHs at year three was associated with younger age [OR = 2.45 (95% CI = 1.50-4.00) for <35 vs 55-65 years] and living with another adult age [OR = 1.68 (95% CI = 1.25-2.26)].
conclusionMore than half of the participants had three HLHs at diagnosis and maintained them after three years. Smoking and alcohol habits improved, but the proportion of participants who achieved a healthy level PA decreased. Older patients may need more support in adopting and maintaining HLHs.
