A comparison of risk factors for osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis using NHANES data.

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
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are both diseases of joints, but they have very different etiologies. Osteoarthritis is a disease assumed to result from wear and tear over time, whereas rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks joint tissues. Using NHANES data (1999-2015), we have compared the influence of age, sex, ethnicity, body mass index and smoking on these two very different forms of arthritis. Incidence of both increases with age and are more frequent in females than males. There is little apparent difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in women of normal as comparted to overweight, but both are more frequent in obese women, especially those over the age of 60. While osteoarthritis is more frequent in whites, blacks have more rheumatoid arthritis, and Hispanics show an intermediate prevalence. Smoking significantly increased the incidence of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in women, but increased prevalence of only RA in men. There was no effect of smoking on OA prevalence in males. It is remarkable that two diseases of joints, which have quite different causes, should have so many commonalities. The differences that exist appear to be due to a combination of inflammatory markers and access to health care.
