Correlation Between Serum Procalcitonin and Disease Activity Score in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis That Have Hip Involvement.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 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
Background: To study the correlation analysis between serum procalcitonin (PCT) and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with hip involvement. Methods: This prospective study collected 100 r-axSpA patients and 52 healthy controls. The BASRI-hip score was used to categorize r-axSpA patients into groups with no hip involvement (BASRI-hip=0, 1), mild involvement (BASRI-hip=2), and moderate-to-severe involvement (BASRI-hip=3, 4). Clinical characteristics of the groups were compared. The correlation between PCT, ASDAS, and BASRI-hip was assessed using the Spearman correlation analysis. ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curves were produced to determine the area under the curve (AUC) of PCT and ASDAS in predicting the occurrence of hip involvement and the degree of hip involvement. Factors influencing hip involvement in r-axSpA were analyzed by multifactorial logistic regression. Results: PCT levels were higher in r-axSpA patients than in healthy controls ( Conclusion: PCT and ASDAS show positive correlation with hip involvement in r-axSpA, and have a certain predictive value to react to hip involvement in r-axSpA.
