Depression/anxiety symptoms in axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis patients in Serbia: a pilot study.
Observational study in Rheumatology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
To assess prevalence and change of depression/anxiety symptoms in spondyloarthritis patients and feasibility of depression/anxiety questionnaires. 43 Patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and 27 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) were consecutively recruited. There were 34 patients on biologics and 36 patients on nonbiologics. Patients were not previously treated for depression. The demographic variables, pain, patient global assessment, laboratory, clinical findings, diseases activity scores, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-short version (DASS-21) were collected. The study visits were at the beginning, after 1 month, after 3 and after 6 months. In axSpA and PsA patients on biologics, BDI and DASS-21 were significantly lower compared to nonbiologics group during time. The axSpA patients on biologics had significantly lower BDI and depression severity by BDI at each time point and lower DASS-21 after 1, 3 and 6 months. BDI in PsA patients who received biological therapy was significantly lower after 3 and 6 months. In biologics groups, BDI significantly decreased after 3 months in axSpA patients and after 1 month in PsA patients. In axSpA patients, there was a medium correlation between BDI and axial pain, patient global assessment and disease activity scores. The biological therapy significantly affected the depression/anxiety symptoms in axSpA and PsA during time. BDI moderately correlated with pain and disease activity in axSpA. BDI and DASS-21 are easy to use in daily practice.
