The Role of Clinical and Ultrasound Enthesitis Scores in Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. 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
introductionAnkylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease, part of the spondyloarthritis (SpA) group, characterized by axial (spine and sacroiliac joints), entheseal, and peripheral joint involvement, which is frequently associated with extra-articular manifestations. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study included a number of 30 patients diagnosed with AS according to the New York modified criteria, with history of entheseal pain, hospitalized between 2016-2018 in the Department of Rheumatology of the Emergency County Hospital of Craiova.
resultsRegarding the Belgrade Ultrasound Enthesitis Score (BUSES) score and the disease activity calculated using the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS), they did not show a statistically significant association (
conclusionsOur study proved a significant correlation between SPARCC and BUSES, although in literature the evidence is contrasting.
