Axial Spondyloarthritis and Diagnostic Challenges: Over-diagnosis, Misdiagnosis, and Under-diagnosis.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purpose of reviewThis article aims to review the challenges in axial spondyloarthritis diagnosis and identify the possible contributing factors. RECENT
findingsThe inability to reach an accurate diagnosis in a timely fashion can lead to treatment delays and worse disease outcomes. The lack of validated diagnostic criteria and the misuse of the currently available classification criteria could be contributing. There is also significant inter-reader variability in interpreting images, and the radiologic definitions of axial spondyloarthritis continue to be re-defined to improve their positive predictive value. The role of inflammatory back pain features, serologic biomarkers, genetics, and their diagnostic contribution to axial spondyloarthritis continues to be investigated. There is still a significant amount of delay in the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis. Appreciating the factors that contribute to this delay is of utmost importance to close the gap. It is similarly important to recognize other conditions that may present with symptoms that mimic axial spondyloarthritis so that misdiagnosis and wrong treatment can be avoided.
