Successful treatment in a child with enthesitis-related arthritis involving the sternoclavicular joint: a case report.

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.
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
backgroundAlthough the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) may be involved in ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatic arthritis, and Behçet's disease and participates in the systemic inflammatory process of arthritis, it is often neglected during routine rheumatologic clinical examinations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report etanercept treatment in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) with SCJ involvement. CASE PRESENTATION: In this study, we describe an unusual case of a child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis with an initial presentation of sternoclavicular mass. The patient (age, 14 years 10 months) presented with an insidious onset atraumatic swelling of the left SCJ and complained of right hip and bilateral ankle tenderness without an apparent cause. Initial ultrasonography indicated a heterogeneous mass in the left SCJ, while computed tomography identified mild swelling of the left SCJ with a thickened synovial lining, mild bone erosion, and some turbid fluid. The patient ultimately underwent left SCJ arthrotomy, during which tapping of the SCJ revealed 2 cc of yellowish fluid, inflammation and necrosis of tissues within the SCJ. A clear yellow joint fluid was aspirated, and testing revealed a negative culture result. The patient was diagnosed with JIA. The joint tenderness improved and erythrocyte sedimentation rate decreased after administering anti-tumor necrosis factor etanercept. An additional ultrasonography demonstrated that the initial imaging findings have been resolved. At the end of a 2-year follow-up period, the patient was completely symptom-free.
conclusionsJIA with SCJ involvement is an uncommon presentation in adolescents. Etanercept may be a beneficial treatment for SCJ involvement in patients with JIA. The upper limbs showed no signs of limited range of motion during the follow-up period. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the efficacy of etanercept in JIA with sternoclavicular joint involvement.
