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

purposeThe progress in identifying immunological mechanisms in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has partly been hampered by the fact that the disease is heterogeneous. Here we have investigated complement and Fc receptors, as part of the inflammatory process, in two subgroups of JIA.

methodsBlood from 26 patients with oligoarticular or polyarticular course type JIA and 21 healthy age and sex-matched controls were investigated by FACS and immunoassays.

resultsIncreased numbers of monocytes and augmented plasma levels of C-reactive protein, C3a and IgG were found in both JIA subgroups. However, only polyarticular patients exhibited increased expression of Fc gamma receptor (FcγR) II and III and complement receptor (CR) 1 on monocytes along with enhanced CR1 expression on B cells. A correlation was observed between degree of receptor expression and C3a levels in the patients.

conclusionsComplement and Fc receptors are up regulated in children with multiple joint involvements, thus highlighting these pathways in the pathogenesis of polyarticular JIA.
