Review in Rheumatology international, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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

In patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) growth impairment and variance in body composition are well-known long-term complications. In the active phases of the disease, particular patients with systemic and polyarticular JIA reveal growth impairment. Some experience "catch-up" growth following reduction in disease activity and lower glucocorticoid doses. Although new therapeutic options are available, there are still 10-20 % of patients with severe forms of the disease who show continuous growth disturbance. Only few studies have specifically addressed body composition in JIA. Bone mass deficits in part could be related to the deficits of muscle mass. Study data on growth hormone treatment in short children with JIA are promising in respect of growth development, final height and body composition. The major goal for physicians is optimal disease control while maintaining normal growth and body composition. Early recognition of patients who develop prolonged growth and body composition disturbances is important as these abnormalities contribute to long-term morbidity and need to be addressed both diagnostically and therapeutically.
