Risk of total knee arthroplasty in young and middle-aged adults with ankylosing spondylitis.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 was to determine the risk of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in young and middle-aged adults with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We computed arthroplasty rates among US Medicaid recipients age 18 to 64 with AS and a comparison group without AS from 1999 to 2011. Among 14,714 patients with AS and 2,932,641 patients without AS, rates of primary TKA were 1.82-fold higher (95% confidence interval 1.57, 2.10) among patients with AS. The risk of primary TKA is elevated in young and middle-aged adults with AS.
