Increased risk of ankylosing spondylitis after Mycoplasma pneumonia: A Nationwide population-based study.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) infection and new development of ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Using data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we included a total of 116,084 patients with newly diagnosed MP between 2000 and 2012. The control cohort consisted of patients who did not have MP, matched 1:4 by age, sex, and index year. The follow-up period was defined as the time from the initial diagnosis of MP to the date of diagnosis of AS, censoring, or 31 December 2013. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to analyze the risk of autoimmune diseases by sex, age, and comorbidities, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).The eligible study participants included 116,084 patients in the MP group and 464,336 patients in the comparison group. The incidence rates of AS in the MP group and comparison groups were 1.49 and 0.74 per 1,000,000-person years, respectively. The adjusted HR of AS for the MP group was 2.45 (95% CI = 1.02-5.90) compared to the control group after adjustment for age, sex, and all covariates.MP remained an independent risk factor for developing AS in terms of sex, age, and comorbidities.
