Core stability and balance in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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 main purpose of this study was to compare core stability and balance between ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients and healthy controls. AS patients diagnosed according to the Modified New York criteria and healthy age- and sex-matched controls were included in the study. Clinical status of AS patients was assessed using Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath AS Functional Index (BASFI), Bath AS Spinal Mobility Index (BASMI). For evaluation of core stability, static and dynamic core endurance and hip strength were assessed. Trunk flexor and extensor endurance, lateral side bridge tests for static core endurance; modified sit-up test for dynamic core endurance were used. Hip strength was measured with a hand-held dynamometer. Biodex Balance System was used to assess static and dynamic balance. Bilateral standing static and dynamic postural stability, single leg standing postural stability and limits of stability test results were recorded. 64 AS patients (40 male, 24 female) and 64 healthy controls (39 male, 25 female) were assessed. Static and dynamic core endurance test results, hip abductor strength were significantly higher in control group than AS group (p < 0.05). Static postural stability and left leg postural stability test results were significantly better in control group than AS group (p < 0.05). Overall, forward, backward, and right, limits of stability test results were significantly higher in control group (p < 0.05). The results of our study demonstrate that AS has negative effects on core stability and balance. It would be beneficial to add core stability and balance training to AS patients' rehabilitation program.
