Enthesitis and its relationships with disease parameters in Moroccan patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In this study, we evaluated the relationship between enthesitis and clinical, laboratory and quality-of-life parameters in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in Moroccan patients. Seventy-six patients were included in this cross-sectional study according to the modified New York criteria for AS. All patients had enthesitis involvement. Clinical and biological parameters were evaluated. Enthesitis were assessed by two indices: Mander Enthesis Index (MEI) and Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score (MASES). Disease activity was evaluated by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). Functional impact was assessed by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI). The quality of life was measured by the Short form-36 (SF-36). Severity of enthesitis was significantly correlated with disease activity, functional disability and degradation of quality of life. There was no relation between enthesitis indices and disease duration or laboratory parameters. The clinical assessment of enthesitis in AS is an important outcome measure, and enthesitis indices could be used to evaluate disease activity in patients with AS.
