Improved diagnostic performance of CASPAR criteria with integration of ultrasound.

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
Background: The difficulty in determining synovitis, tenosynovitis, or enthesitis by physical examination (PE) has limited the diagnostic capability of CASPAR for psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of CASPAR with the integration of ultrasound (US). Methods: Patients with a hint of PsA were enrolled. Besides routine PE for tender or swollen joints, enthesitis, and dactylitis, US was performed to evaluate peripheral joints, entheses, and tendons. The additional value of the US to the CASPAR criteria was analyzed. Results: A total of 326 consecutive patients with 164 PsA and 162 non-PsA were enrolled. A total of 162 non-PsA patients consisted of 58 cases of psoriasis (PsO), 27 osteoarthritis with PsO/family history of PsO, five fibromyalgia with PsO, 69 sero-negative rheumatoid arthritis, and three undifferentiated arthritis. Significantly higher frequencies of tenosynovitis and enthesitis on US and new bone formation on X-rays were found in PsA vs. non-PsA patients (59.1% Conclusion: The diagnostic utility of the CASPAR was improved by integrating tenosynovitis and/or enthesitis when using US. US provides additional value for PsA recognition.
