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: Patient education is an important part of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) management. Effective patient education should be targeted at specific priorities and needs of the patients. However, the educational needs of patients with AS in China have not been systematically explored. The purpose of this study was to assess the level of educational needs and analyze associated factors in patients with AS in China. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted at five hospitals in China. The Chinese version of the Educational Needs Assessment Tool (ENAT) was used to measure educational needs. Disease activity and physical function were assessed using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of educational needs. Results: This study included 163 patients with AS. The mean ENAT score was 86.25 (31.64). Patients wanted to know more about the arthritis process, self-help measures, and treatments. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that younger age, being female, higher disease activity, and no family history of AS ( Conclusion: Patients with AS in China have considerable educational needs, particularly in the domains of arthritis, self-help, and treatment. Female patients and patients with younger age, higher disease activity, and no family history may have higher educational needs. These factors should be considered when conducting need-based patient education programs. Healthcare professionals should integrate need-based patient education into rheumatology care in the future.
