Relationship between spinal mobility measures and quality of life in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
The aim of this study was to assess spinal mobility status and Quality of life (QoL) of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and determine the relationship between spinal mobility and measures of clinical condition including QoL. A total of 74 patients with AS were included in this study. Disease specific instruments Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Bath Ankylosing Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) were applied, and mobility testing: occiput-wall distance and chest expansion. QoL was assessed by the Short Form-36 (SF-36). The mean age was 48.5 years; there were significant correlations between BASMI score and age (P < 0.001), disease duration (P < 0.001), symptoms duration (P < 0.001) and BASFI (P < 0.001). BASMI was negatively correlated with SF-36 physical function subscale (P < 0.001) and general health subscale (P = 0.029). In multivariate regression analysis, BASFI score (P < 0.001) was independently associated factor with physical function domain of SF-36. This study showed that in AS spinal mobility measures are associated with physical function, general health, emotional role and mental health domains of QoL.
