Diagnostic value of anti-Kaiso autoantibody in axial spondyloarthritis.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic rheumatic disease predominantly characterized by inflammation and progressive structural damage. Patients are often diagnosed very late, which delays the optimal treatment period. Early diagnosis of axSpA, especially non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA), remains a major challenge. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of anti-Kaiso autoantibodies in axSpA and their correlation with clinical disease indicators. Methods: Two pooled serum samples (seven patients with nr-axSpA and seven healthy controls) were profiled using HuProt arrays to investigate the diagnostic value of autoantibodies in nr-axSpA. Levels of anti-Kaiso autoantibodies in patients with axSpA and controls were determined using the Meso Scale Discovery assay system. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of anti-Kaiso autoantibodies in axSpA. Pearson's correlation was used to assess the correlation between anti-Kaiso autoantibodies and clinical parameters. Results: Seven candidate autoantibodies were present in the serum of patients with nr-axSpA. The levels of anti-Kaiso autoantibodies were significantly higher in the nr-axSpA group than in the other groups. It can differentiate nr-axSpA from ankylosing spondylitis (AS), healthy controls, and rheumatoid arthritis. The level of early-stage AS among patients with nr-axSpA decreased when they progressed to the late stage. Of all patients with axSpA, serum anti-Kaiso autoantibody levels were positively correlated with the C-reactive protein level and the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index score and negatively correlated with disease duration. Conclusion: Anti-Kaiso autoantibody may be a valuable diagnostic biomarker for early-stage AS in the nr-axSpA period and may be a potential therapeutic target.
