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

aimTo demonstrate the demographic data, subgroup distributions, responses to treatment and outcomes of long-term follow-up in patients who were followed up and treated in our clinics with a diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and to compare these data with national and international data. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe files of 116 patients who had been diagnosed as having juvenile idiopathic arthritis, were initiated on treatment and presented for regular follow-up visits between January 2012 and January 2018, were examined. Their demographic findings, treatments, active/inactive disease states (on-medication and off-medication) and treatment response states were evaluated.

resultsAccording to the International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria, the subtypes were specified as enthesitis-related arthritis (n=38), oligoarticular (n=37), rheumatoid factor (-) polyarticular (n=17), systemic (n=15), rheumatoid factor (+) polyarticular (n=5), and psoriatic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (n=4). In total, the female/male ratio was found to be 1.5. The mean delay time between the first complaint and the diagnosis was found to be 5.7±5.2 months. The patients with systemic type were diagnosed at the earliest, while the patients with polyarticular and enthesitis-related subtypes were diagnosed at the latest. Thirty-two percent of the patients were treated with methotrexate alone, and 38% were given additional biologic drugs. In both treatment groups, the time to achieve inactive disease was the shortest in the oligoarticular group and the longest in the enthesitis-related arthritis group. In the study period, 38 patients were in remission off-medication (the highest rate (53.3%) was observed in the systemic group) and 71 patients were in remission on-medication (the highest rate (70.2%) was observed in the oligoarticular group). Remission was obtained in 94% of the patients.

conclusionEnthesitis which is the remarkable finding of enthesitis-related arthritis, should not be overlooked in routine physical examination. Awareness of enthesitis can contribute to the prevention of diagnostic delay in children with enthesitis-related arthritis.
