Clinical Diagnostic Value of Dkk-1 Level in Ankylosing Spondylitis: Comparison of Test Systems Based on Aptamers and Antibodies.
Article in Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In ankylosing spondylitis, the pathological metabolism of the bone tissue is regulated by various proteins; of these, Dkk-1 protein, an antagonist of the Wnt-signaling pathway, is of particular interest. We compared the methods of Dkk-1 detection in the blood serum of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (conventional ELISA and aptamer/antibody assay) and analyzed the relationship between Dkk-1 level and structural progression of ankylosing spondylitis and secondary osteoporosis. Dkk-1 levels in patients were significantly increased and depended on the stage of the disease, but not on the presence/absence of osteoporosis. Thus, Dkk-1 is a potential serum marker of progression of ankylosing spondylitis reflecting a tendency to structural progression of the disease before the appearance of radiographic changes. The results obtained by both methods practically coincided, which suggests good prospects for applying DNA aptamer-based test system.
