Prevalence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and early-phase DISH across the lifespan of an American population.
Article in Rheumatology (Oxford, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesDISH is a common musculoskeletal disorder; however, the imaging features and disease continuum from early to advanced stages is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of DISH and early-phase DISH in an American population and to assess the extent and pattern of ectopic mineralization across the thoracic spine.
methodsData were retrieved in collaboration with the Rochester Epidemiology Project. We conducted a retrospective image evaluation of a sample of individuals over 19 years of age with CT of the thoracic spine from a Northern US catchment area. Stratified random sampling by age and sex was used to populate the study. We examined the prevalence and extent of ectopic mineralization along the thoracic spine using previously established criteria.
resultsA total of 1536 unique images (766 female and 770 male individuals) including 16 710 motion segments were evaluated for imaging features of the continuum of DISH. Collectively, 40.5% of all motion segments evaluated displayed evidence of ectopic mineralization in the thoracic spine. The prevalence of early-phase DISH was 13.2% (10.4% of female and 15.8% of male individuals). The prevalence of established DISH was 14.2% (7.4% of female and 20.9% of male individuals). Remarkable heterogeneity was detected in individuals within each disease classification, based on the extent of the thoracic spine affected and degree of mineralization.
conclusionsThe continuum of imaging features associated with DISH is detected in more than one in four adults and both sexes in an American population.
