Delayed Diagnosis of Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Missed Opportunity?
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory condition involving the axial spine, often associated with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 genotype and supporting radiographic imaging findings. Patients develop symptomatic low back and/or hip pain beginning in late adolescence or early adulthood. Diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis is based primarily on clinical presentation and imaging studies. In this article, we are presenting a case of a 40-year-old male patient who presented to the office with chief concerns of chronic mid-thoracic back pain and restricted range of motion of his neck. The imaging study obtained was suggestive of fusion of the sacroiliac joints. This article also highlights the presence of elevated inflammatory markers in the setting of the patients chronic symptomatic complaints which could have guided in early diagnosis.
