Effects of serum inflammatory factors, health index and disease activity scores on ankylosing spondylitis patients with sleep disorder.

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
backgroundPatients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) frequently suffer from comorbid sleep disorders, exacerbating the burden of the disease and affecting their quality of life.
aimTo investigate the clinical significance of serum inflammatory factors, health index and disease activity scores in patients with AS complicated by sleep disorders.
methodsA total of 106 AS patients with comorbid sleep disorders were included in the study. The patients were grouped into the desirable and undesirable prognosis groups in accordance with their clinical outcomes. The serum levels of inflammatory factors, including C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, interleukin (IL)-6, tumour necrosis factor-α and IL-1β, were measured. Disease activity scores, such as the Bath AS functional index, Bath AS disease activity index, Bath AS metrology index and AS disease activity score, were assessed. The health index was obtained through the Short Form-36 questionnaire.
resultsThe study found significant associations amongst serum inflammatory factors, health index and disease activity scores in AS patients with comorbid sleep disorders. Positive correlations were found between serum inflammatory factors and disease activity scores, indicating the influence of heightened systemic inflammation on disease severity and functional impairment. Conversely, negative correlations were found between disease activity scores and health index parameters, highlighting the effect of disease activity on various aspects of health-related quality of life. Logistic regression analysis further confirmed the predictive value of these factors on patient outcomes, underscoring their potential utility in risk assessment and prognostication.
conclusionThe findings demonstrate the intricate interplay amongst disease activity, systemic inflammation and patient-reported health outcomes in AS patients complicated by sleep disorders. The results emphasise the need for comprehensive care strategies that address the diverse needs and challenges faced by these patients and underscore the potential relevance of serum inflammatory factors, health index and disease activity scores as prognostic markers in this patient population.
