1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Inflammatory spondyloarthropathies are associated with pain, fatigue, stiffness and anxiety. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the EULAR provide limited lifestyle guidance for managing symptoms with inflammatory spondyloarthropathies. We investigated the combined associations of obesity and physical activity with symptom severity in inflammatory spondyloarthropathies. Methods: The relationship between BMI, physical activity and symptom severity (spinal and general pain, fatigue, anxiety, mobility) was examined in people with ISpAs ( Results: Overweight and obesity, compared with normal weight, were linked to higher severity of all symptoms, with stronger associations for obesity (OR ≥ 2.34, Conclusion: National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and EULAR guidance for inflammatory spondyloarthropathies should emphasize maintaining a normal weight. Moderate physical activity is optimal for reducing symptom severity and should be promoted in lifestyle guidance.
