A resistance exercise program improves functional capacity of patients with psoriatic arthritis: a randomized controlled trial.

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 is to assess the effectiveness of resistance training in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The study is a randomized controlled trial with 41 patients aged between 18 and 65 years with diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The patients were randomized into the following: intervention group (IG) and control group (CG). The IG underwent resistance exercise twice a week, for 12 weeks. The CG remained with the conventional drug therapy. The outcome measurements were the following: BASFI and HAQ-S for functional capacity, one maximum repetition test (1RM) for muscle strength, SF-36 questionnaire for general quality of life, and BASDAI and DAS-28 for disease activity. The evaluations were done by a blinded evaluator at baseline (T0) after 6 (T6) and 12 weeks (T12). At baseline, the groups were homogeneous regarding clinical and demographic characteristics. The IG significantly improved functional capacity measured by HAQ-S and disease activity measured by BASDAI, compared to CG, at week 12. Regarding quality of life, the IG improved the domains "pain" and "general health status" compared to CG (p < 0.05). There was improvement in muscular strength in almost all exercises in IG, except in the exercise for biceps. However, there were statistical differences between groups only on exercise "leg extension" in IG compared to CG. Resistance training is effective in improving functional capacity, disease activity, and quality of life of patients with psoriatic arthritis. The clinical improvements were not coupled to significant changes in muscular strength.
