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

backgroundThe classification and pathogenic basis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are a subject of some controversy. Essentially, JIA is an exclusion diagnosis that represents a phenotypically heterogeneous group of arthritis of unknown origin. Familial aggregation of JIA supports the concept of genetic influence in the pathogenesis of JIA.

objectiveTo present the spectrum of laccase domain-containing 1 (LACC1)-associated juvenile arthritis with clinical, biochemical, and molecular genetic data of a cohort of 43 patients, including 11 previously unpublished cases.

methodsWe studied 11 patients with different categories of juvenile idiopathic arthritis from 5 consanguineous families, all from Saudi Arabia, except 2 patients who were of Jordanian ethnicity. Whole-exome sequencing was used to identify the disease-causing variant of LACC1. We also reviewed the clinical spectrum and molecular genetic data of previously published cases of LACC1-associated juvenile arthritis.

resultsThis study describes 43 (29 females, 14 males) patients from consanguineous multiplex families. Most of the included patients were of Arab origin with 86% having early onset disease. The most frequent categories were systemic (19 patients) and rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular (19 patients). Thirty-seven (86%) had progressive erosive arthritis and 10 (23.3%) had persistent limb lymphedema. None of the patients had features of macrophage activation syndrome. Genetic analysis confirmed LACC1 variant in all patients; 22 patients had common founder mutation (LACC1: c.850T > C,p.C284R), while the others showed different LACC1 variants. All patients were treated aggressively with methotrexate and sequential biologic agents. Most of them showed a poor response to treatment.

conclusionThis report expands the pathogenic variants of LACC1 and the clinical spectrum associated with this genetic subset of juvenile arthritis. The predominance of autosomal-recessive inheritance and strong genetic evidence allowed us to propose LACC1-associated juvenile arthritis as a distinct disorder.
