Foot functions in ankylosing spondylitis.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
abtract
aimBecause of the wide diversity of developmental stages in spondyloarthropathies (SpA), clinical and radiographic weak correlations are often found in the development of enthesopathies. In this study, foot functions of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients were analyzed with clinical and radiological features.
methodSixty-two AS patients and 39 age-matched, gender-matched, and body mass index (BMI)-matched healthy volunteers were included in this study. Acute-phase reactant levels of participants were recorded. The disease activity and functionality were assessed using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI). Foot functional index (FFI) and timed up and go test (TUG) were performed by the same educated nurse. Radiographically, the SpA-tarsal radiographic index (TRI) and the calcaneal inclination angle (CIA) were measured by the same physician to assess midfoot and arches.
resultsFFI subscores and total, TUG results, and CIA measurements were found to be significantly higher in the AS group (p < 0.05). FFI-pain, FFI-disability, and FFI-activity limitation subscores were significantly and positively correlated with BASDAI and BASFI scores (p < 0.05). Radiological changes ranging from grade 1 to grade 4 were detected in 68% of the AS paients according to TRI. Nineteen AS patients had pes planus and 26 AS patients had pes cavus deformity.
conclusionThe foot and ankle are frequently affected during the course of AS. Foot involvement and its functional impacts should be assessed regardless of the disease activity parameters in AS patients.
