Living with ankylosing spondylitis: an open response survey exploring physical activity experiences.
Article in Rheumatology advances in practice, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe aim was to gather in-depth, rich accounts of physical activity experiences of people living with AS, to include symptom management, consequences for symptoms, factors that encourage and disrupt physical activity, and motivations that underpin participation in physical activity.
methodsParticipants (
resultsFifty different physical activities were participated in over the previous month. Physical activity can improve and worsen arthritis symptoms, and fluctuations in participation exist even in the most active. Pain and fatigue were the two most frequently identified factors that stopped people with AS from being physically active. Participants reported more autonomously driven motivations than controlled motivations for participating in physical activity.
conclusionPeople with AS can and do participate in a diverse range of physical activities, but fluctuations in activity levels occur owing to disease- and non-disease-specific factors. Individually tailored plans and self-monitoring are important to optimize levels of physical activity and maximize benefits for people living with AS. Multiple reasons why AS patients participate in physical activity were revealed that included both adaptive (i.e. autonomous) and maladaptive (i.e. controlled) forms of motivation.
