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

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in pediatric population, with uveitis as the most common and severe extra-articular manifestation. Eye damage (bilateral in 70-80% of cases) is usually anterior, chronic and asymptomatic. Young age, female gender, oligoarticular form and ANA positivity are risk factors for chronic anterior uveitis (CAU). Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) frequently occurs in HLA-B27 positive boys with enthesitis-related arthritis. The onset is on average 1.8 years after the onset of JIA, but it may also precede the articular manifestations. Ophthalmological screening for JIA is recommended every 3 or 6-12 months depending on the combination of risk factors for associated uveitis. The major purpose of the treatment is to minimize the loss of visual acuity. The treatment is topical (corticosteroids, cycloplegics) and systemic (short-term glucocorticoids, methotreexate, biological drugs). Biological therapy (indicated if previous treatments are ineffective) is using anti-TNF drugs as first choice (most studies are indicating sup erior efficiency for Adalimumab). Usually AAU is treated promptly and no systemic treatment is needed. In some cases the evolution of CAU can lead to severe complications (synechiaes, cataract, glaucoma, even blindness). Interdisciplinary approach involving the pediatric rheumatologist and ophthalmologist is essential for correct monitoring of this disease.
