Clinical characteristics of peripheral spondyloarthritis without psoriasis, inflammatory enteropathy or preceding infection, from a single rheumatology clinic in northern India.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 objective of this study was to characterise the peripheral arthritis of spondyloarthritis (pSpA) excluding psoriatic-, inflammatory enteropathy-related, post-infectious reactive-SpA and arthritis associated with axial SpA/ankylosing spondylitis (axSpA/AS). Patients presenting with the clinical features of the broad spectrum of SpA were screened for the presence of peripheral arthritis using the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria. The other conditions that could cause pSpA, e.g. psoriasis, inflammatory enteropathy, reactive arthritis and axSpA/AS, were excluded. Their assessment included clinical, laboratory and imaging features. Of a total of 405 patients seen within the spectrum of SpA, 25 (6.2%) patients were identified as pSpA with none of the conditions that could be attributed to their disease. The male to female ratio was 2.6:1; the pattern of involvement was predominantly lower extremity asymmetrical large joint oligoarthritis in persons below the age of 40 years (60% were <30 years of age). Some had soft tissue and/or extra-articular manifestations characteristic of SpA (36%) and family history (20%) of SpA spectrum of diseases. When compared to peripheral arthritis reported in axial axSpA/AS, root/central joint involvement was minimal in pSpA. Otherwise, the pattern of arthritis appeared similar. Exclusive peripheral arthritis without the presence of the other disease-defining conditions is uncommon, seen only in 6.2% of the SpA spectrum diseases. The pattern of joint involvement was similar to that observed with axSpA/AS except that the root/central joints were not seen.
