Effectiveness of Physiotherapy Exercises on Pain, Range of Motion, and Quality of Life in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory disease that affects the entire body. Immune cells positive for human leukocyte antigen B27 are thought to be involved in the pathophysiology. AS is caused by inflammation of the spinal joints, leading to stiffness and reduced spinal movement. This case study describes a 38-year-old man who suffered from hip problems and back pain that worsened over eight years. This study investigates how well physiotherapy exercises can help patients with AS manage their pain, increase their range of motion, and improve their overall quality of life. It examines the effects of a structured physiotherapy intervention on pain levels, functional mobility, and general well-being in a particular group of patients. Quantitative measures are used in the assessment to assess changes in pain intensity, range of motion, and quality of life. These measures offer important new information about the potential advantages of physiotherapy as a supplemental treatment for AS. The results add to the increasing amount of data demonstrating the role of physiotherapy exercises as an additional therapeutic approach for people with AS.
