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

backgroundUveitis is the most common extra-articular manifestation of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). It occurs, according to German registry data, in around 12% of JIA patients and can lead to a loss of vision, especially in cases of delayed diagnosis and/or inadequate therapy.

objectiveA review of current aspects of diagnosis and therapy was carried out. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis is a review article of the current literature.

resultsThe risk of uveitis is significantly elevated in patients with an oligoarticular course of JIA, ANA positivity and young age at onset of JIA. During the mostly asymptomatic course of uveitis severe complications, such as cataracts, glaucoma or macular edema can occur, limiting visual acuity. Early detection of uveitis and interdisciplinary cooperation of uveitis specialists and pediatric rheumatologists is of major importance to ensure a favorable long-term prognosis. The initial therapy consists of topical steroids; however, in cases of insufficient response or complicated course of uveitis, conventional synthetic (mainly methotrexate) or biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) are required. In respect to bDMARDs, the highest evidence exists for treatment with adalimumab; however, depending on the clinical course of disease, other bDMARDs, such as infliximab, golimumab, tocilizumab, abatacept or rituximab may also have a beneficial effect. Despite these treatment options, uveitis or arthritis may frequently persist into adult age. Adequate and early recognition and treatment of uveitis-related complications is of major importance to ensure a good long-term visual prognosis.

conclusionEarly diagnosis of JIA-associated uveitis and early implementation of effective treatment, especially steroid-sparing DMARD therapy, aims at achieving uveitis inactivity and prevention of ocular damage.
