1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the determinants of six-minute walk test (6MWT) distance in women with systemic sclerosis.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 36 women with systemic sclerosis were assessed using the Medsger Systemic Sclerosis Severity Scale (MSS), modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), University of California Scleroderma Clinical Study Consortium Gastrointestinal Tract Scale, quadriceps strength measurement, Milliken Activities of Daily Living Scale (MAS), and International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The 6MWT was performed to assess the participants' functional capacity and examine factors affecting functional capacity.

results6MWT distance was moderately associated with disease severity, with 14 participants walking less than 80% of the predicted distance. 6MWT distance was also significantly correlated with spirometry values and MSS, mRSS, HAQ, and MAS scores (p<0.05). In linear regression analysis, MSS and MAS scores were identified as independent predictors of 6MWD and accounted for 42.5% of variance (R2 = 0.425).

conclusionDisease severity and activities of daily living are independently associated with functional capacity in women with scleroderma, with MSS and MAS scores accounting for 42.5% of variance in 6MWT distance in the linear regression model.
