[Early diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis and spondyolarthritis and predictors of outome].
Review in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2008. 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
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a relevant differential diagnosis in patients with chronic back pain. Inflammatory back pain is the leading symptom in AS and also in undifferentiated spondyloarthritis. The diagnosis of AS is often delayed by 5 to 10 years, mainly because radiographs do not reveal definite radiographic sacroiliitis during the initial stage of the disease. Diagnostic algorithms based on Bayesian models have been developed to facilitate making an early diagnosis in daily practice. Moreover, screening parameters for early referral to the rheumatologist of patients seen in primary care have been evaluated. Male sex, extraspinal manifestations, and existing syndesmophytes on radiographs appear to be predictors of a worse disease outcome.
