1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 combination of physiological age-related changes (e. g. reduction in muscle mass and function, reduction in organ function and degenerative changes in joints) and disease-specific changes of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), make older AS patients vulnerable for additional diseases. In this patient population various processes lead to a reduction in physical function, changes in posture, osteoporosis and sarcopenia, which then can result in falls and fractures, especially vertebral fractures. Mortality is increased in patients with AS, particularly in men due to an increase in cardiovascular mortality. Although the standardized assessment of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (independent of age) has been recommended for years, it is rarely done in clinical practice. Overall, data on comorbidities and risk factors are only available for AS patients and are lacking for other forms of spondyloarthritides.
