Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewSince the publication of the 2019 American College of Rheumatology/Spondylitis Association of America/Spondyloarthritis Research and Treatment Network (ACR/SAA/SPARTAN) treatment recommendations for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), new evidence has emerged that necessitates a revision of the ACR/SAA/SPARTAN clinical practice guideline (CPG). RECENT

findingsAn online survey was conducted among SPARTAN members prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting, with 81 members participating. A majority (62%) expressed a preference for treating axSpA as a single entity in the updated CPG, eliminating the distinction between AS and nonradiographic axSpA. Updating the recommendations on pharmacotherapy was considered the top priority, followed by revising recommendations on disease activity monitoring and biosimilar use. Over half of the respondents (58%) rated the 2019 CPG as no more than moderately user-friendly. Key areas for improvement include outdated content, lack of quick reference materials, complex flow charts, and inadequate visual aids. The survey results indicate strong support among SPARTAN members for treating axSpA as a single entity in the forthcoming update of the ACR/SAA/SPARTAN CPG. Additionally, there is demand for a more user-friendly guideline document.
