Prevalence of co-existing autoimmune disease in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Pediatric rheumatology online journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
backgroundMany autoimmune diseases share common pathogenic mechanisms, cytokine pathways and systemic inflammatory cascades; however, large studies quantifying the co-existence of autoimmune diseases in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) have not been conducted.
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional study using two United States administrative healthcare claims databases (Truven Health MarketScan® Commercial Database and IMS PharMetrics database) to screen for the prevalence of multiple autoimmune diseases in patients with JIA and in a control group with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Patients with a diagnosis code for JIA or ADHD between January 1, 2006 and September 30, 2017 were separated into two age cohorts (< 18 and ≥ 18 years) and matched (maximum 1:5) based on age, sex, number of medical encounters, and calendar year of diagnosis. The prevalence rates of 30 pre-specified autoimmune diseases during the 12-month periods before and after diagnosis were compared.
resultsOverall, 29,215 patients with JIA and 134,625 matched control patients with ADHD were evaluated. Among patients in the MarketScan database, 28/30 autoimmune diseases were more prevalent in patients with JIA aged < 18 years and 29/30 were more prevalent in patients aged ≥ 18 years when compared with a matched cohort of patients with ADHD. In the PharMetrics database, 29/30 and 30/30 autoimmune diseases were more prevalent in patients with JIA aged < 18 and ≥ 18 years, respectively, compared with a matched cohort of patients with ADHD. Among patients with JIA aged < 18 years, the greatest odds ratios (ORs) were seen for Sjögren's syndrome/sicca syndrome and uveitis. Among patients aged ≥ 18 years in the MarketScan database, the greatest ORs were recorded for uveitis. Data from the PharMetrics database indicated that the greatest ORs were for uveitis and chronic glomerulonephritis.
conclusionsPatients with JIA are more likely to have concurrent autoimmune diseases than matched patients with ADHD. Having an awareness of the co-existence of autoimmune diseases among patients with JIA may play an important role in patient management, treatment decisions, and outcomes.
