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

The treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has been revolutionized by the use of novel biologic agents that have much improved patients' short-term and, according to early evidence, long-term outcomes. Currently available biologic agents used to treat patients with JIA include tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers, various agents that target interleukin (IL)-1 and the IL-6 receptor, T-cell co-stimulation inhibitors and antibodies to B-lymphocyte antigen CD20. These agents are increasingly used early in the course of the disease (often in combination with other immunosuppressive medications) and often for long periods of time, as patients can be difficult to wean from their use. Safety concerns (especially the long-term effects of biologic therapy) are, therefore, being examined more closely. For instance, in 2009, the FDA issued a warning related to the development of malignancies in patients with JIA who had used anti-TNF medications for >2.5 years. In this Review, data related to the safety profile of all currently available biologic agents used to treat JIA are examined, with a particular focus on anti-TNF therapy, the most studied biologic agent for JIA. Safety issues that need further study, including the implementation of registries to monitor long-term drug safety, are also discussed.
