Unmasking the Hidden Peril: A Case Report of Ankylosing Spondylitis Revealing a Giant Aortic Aneurysm.
Article in Current rheumatology reviews, 2025. 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
backgroundAnkylosing Spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease with both articular and extra-articular features. While cardiovascular involvement in Ankylosing spondylitis is rare, it can be life-threatening. This condition is typically associated with the HLAB27 antigen and often presents in the advanced stages of the disease. This case is particularly uncommon as cardiovascular involvement was identified at the time of diagnosis in a patient who tested negative for HLA-B27. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present an uncommon case of a 37-year-old male with 3 years of evolving Ankylosing Spondylitis negative for HLA-B27, who was incidentally found to have a giant aortic aneurysm during cardiovascular screening at the time of his rheumatic disease diagnosis. The patient underwent surgical intervention using the Tyron-David procedure. Subsequent post-operative follow-ups revealed satisfactory outcomes without complications.
conclusionEven in the absence of clinical signs, and even in the early stages of Ankylosing spondylitis, it is necessary to screen for this condition, at least with transthoracic ultrasound. Early screening ensures prompt treatment, which will save the patient's life.
