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
Objective: The Assessment of Burden of Chronic Conditions (ABCC-) tool was developed to provide a comprehensive, holistic evaluation of disease burden on physical, emotional and social level in patients with one or more chronic conditions. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the recently developed module for the ABCC-tool for osteoarthritis (OA). Design: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among patients with hip, knee, hand, wrist, foot and ankle OA. Validity was assessed as (1) the convergent validity with three OA-joint-specific questionnaires measuring pain and stiffness amongst others; (2) the discriminant validity with radiographic Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) scores; and (3) known-groups validity (groups: number of affected joints, and the presence/absence of anxiety, depression, kinesiophobia, and pain catastrophizing). Reliability was assessed as the (1) internal consistency; and (2) test-retest with a two-week interval. Results: 409 OA patients were included. For all joints its convergent validity was according to the hypothesis, i.e. r ≥ 0.7 (hip OA r = -0.73; knee OA r = -0.75; hand and wrist OA r = 0.74; foot and ankle OA r = -0.41). As expected according to the hypothesis, no correlation between burden of OA and KL-scores was found for the discriminant validity. The ABCC-tool was able to distinguish all predefined known-groups (all Conclusion: The ABCC-tool is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the multidimensional burden of OA across different joints.
