Celecoxib is the only nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug to inhibit bone progression in spondyloarthritis.

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
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to ankylosis of the axial skeleton. Celecoxib (cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, COX-2i) inhibited radiographic progression in a clinical study of SpA, but in the following study, diclofenac (COX-2 non-selective) failed to show that inhibition. Our study aimed to investigate whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibited bone progression in SpA, and whether celecoxib had a unique function (independent of the COX-inhibitor), compared with the other NSAIDs. We investigated the efficacy of various NSAIDs in curdlan-injected SKG mice (SKGc), an animal model of SpA, analyzed by bone micro-CT and immunohistochemistry. We also tested the effect of NSAIDs on osteoblast (OB) differentiation and bone mineralization in primary bone-derived cells (BdCs) from mice, and in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients and human osteosarcoma cell line (SaOS2). Celecoxib significantly inhibited clinical arthritis and bone progression in the joints of SKGc, but not etoricoxib (another COX-2i), nor naproxen (COX-2 nonselective). Both DM-celecoxib, not inhibiting COX-2, and celecoxib, inhibited OB differentiation and bone mineralization in the BdCs of mice and AS patients, and in SaOS2, but etoricoxib or naproxen did not. The in silico study indicated that celecoxib and 2,5-dimethyl-celecoxib (DM-celecoxib) would bind to cadherin-11 (CDH11) with higher affinity than etoricoxib and naproxen. Celecoxib suppressed CDH11-mediated β-catenin signaling in the joints of SKGc, primary mice cells, and SaOS2 cells. Of the NSAIDs, only celecoxib inhibited bone progression in SKGc and OB differentiation and bone mineralization in the BdCs of mice and AS patients via CDH11/WNT signaling, independent of the COX-2 inhibition.
