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

Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a severe disorder now linked more to autoinflammation than to autoimmunity. Clinical and laboratory evidence support the pathogenetic role of interleukin-1 (IL-1), and blockade of this cytokine has proved to be very effective in the treatment of sJIA. There are now several agents that block IL-1 available on the market. This article reviews the efficacy and safety of these drugs for the treatment of sJIA on the basis of published data, and offers the current view on treating sJIA according to its different phenotypes. There are no head to head trials among the different IL-1 inhibitors, and although efficacy has been demonstrated for all of them, it is still unknown which one would be more appropriate for which particular situation. The presence of synovitis in addition to active systemic features might be relevant for these choices. In addition, complications such as macrophage activation syndrome can be important since, on one hand, it has been associated with biologic therapy administration and, on another, there have been some reports of this complication being treated with anti-IL-1. Current recommendations by the American College of Rheumatology are now outdated, and new ones are being prepared. In the meantime, basic and clinical research is advancing in order to identify new treatment targets and to evaluate the different protocols currently in use.
