Comparison of plantar pressure distribution patterns of patients with ankylosing spondylitis and asymptomatic healthy individuals: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 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 (AS) is an inflammatory chronic disease that causes postural changes. As a result of these changes decreased hip flexion, increased knee flexion and plantar flexion of ankle are developed.
aimsThe aim of the study is to compare plantar pressure distribution results in patients with AS and healthy individuals and to determine the relationship between clinical and functional parameters in patients with AS.
methodsTwenty-five patients (median age = 42.2 ± 2.1 years) with AS and 25 healthy individuals (median age = 44.4 ± 1.7 years) were included in the study. The maximum foot pressure (FP
resultsThere were no differences between static and dynamic pedobarographic analysis parameters between the AS group and the control group (p > 0.05). Self-rated functional levels parameters, pain, and stiffness were higher in the AS group (p < 0.05). Lumbar flexion (p = 0.187) and tragus-to-wall distance (p = 0.196) were similar in two groups. Self-rated parameters were correlated with pain, stiffness, and lateral flexion (p < 0.05). Lateral flexion correlated with FA and FFL; tragus to wall distance correlated with FP
conclusionThe results showed that there was no difference plantar pressure distribution but there was a difference in spinal mobility in AS group compared healthy individuals.
