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
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases characterized by erosions and bone proliferation with consecutive morphologic and functional deficits. Physiotherapeutic and rehabilitation measures are often necessary for AS patients for their whole life. In recent years, biologicals have substantially improved the outcome in AS patients, but their positive influence on vertebral and joint functions still requires differential indicative physiotherapeutic strategies and rehabilitation, in most cases in combination with effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication. Although physical therapy and rehabilitation have not been investigated in large controlled trials, they are essential for the multimodal therapeutic concept of AS.
