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 tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) inhibitors have been used with good clinical results in the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Anti TNFα therapy is generally well tolerated. Besides the site injection reactions, other various cutaneous manifestations have been encountered as adverse events. Here, we report four young patients receiving treatment with anti-TNFα (infliximab, adalimumab, and etanercept) for JIA developing different skin manifestations more than 1 year after the initiation of therapy. They underwent a dermatological exam. All four patients were ACR-Ped 30 responders to anti-TNF drugs. The first patient developed cutaneous vasculitis, the second one had lichen planus manifestations, while the third and the fourth developed psoriatic palmoplantar pustulosis accompanied by plaque-type psoriasis localized to the scalp. None of the patients had a personal or family history of dermatological diseases. In the first two patients, skin lesions healed with topical treatment after the discontinuation of anti-TNF agent, while psoriatic lesions did not resolve despite discontinuation of the drug and dermatological treatment. TNF inhibition can be both anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory. Cutaneous manifestations could be considered as a paradoxical adverse event of the anti-TNF-alpha treatment not only in rheumatoid arthritis but also in juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
