Longitudinal associations between depressive symptoms and clinical factors in ankylosing spondylitis patients: analysis from an observational cohort.
Observational study in Rheumatology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesAlthough cross-sectional studies have shown that ankylosing spondylitis-specific factors correlate with depressive symptom severity, the association of these factors over time is unresolved. We examined the demographic and clinical factors associated with longitudinal depressive symptom severity in AS patients.
methodsWe analyzed sociodemographic, clinical, behavioral and medication data from 991 patients from the Prospective Study of Outcomes in Ankylosing spondylitis cohort, and measured depression severity with the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale administered at approximately 6-month visit intervals. Multivariable longitudinal negative binomial regression models were conducted using generalized estimating equation modeling to assess the demographic, clinical, and medication-related factors associated with depression severity by CES-D scores over time.
resultsThe median baseline CES-D score (possible range 0-60) was 10.0 (interquartile range = 5, 17). In longitudinal multivariable analyses, higher CES-D scores were associated with longitudinal smoking, greater functional impairment, greater disease activity, self-reported depression, and poor global health scores. Marital status (e.g., being married) was associated with lower CES-D. Adjusted mean CES-D scores in our model decreased over time, with a significant interaction between time and gender observed.
conclusionThis study identified longitudinal clinical factors such as greater disease activity, greater functional impairment, and poor global health to be associated with longitudinal depression severity. These factors are potentially modifiable and may help manage depressive symptoms in AS.
