Glucose metabolism in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Article in Pediatric rheumatology online journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundSystemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease in children. Overproduction of inflammatory cytokines in SJIA resembles that in adult onset Still disease. Chronic inflammation causes insulin resistance and consequently leading to abnormal glucose metabolism. Adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have increased risks of abnormal glucose metabolism and diabetes. To date, glucose metabolism in patients with SJIA has not been elucidated.
methodsPatients with SJIA aged 4-25 years were recruited. All patients underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Indices of insulin sensitivity [homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and whole-body insulin sensitivity index (WBISI)] and β-cell function [insulinogenic index (IGI) and disposition index (DI)] were calculated. Obese children with normoglycemia who underwent the OGTT were served as a control group.
resultsA total of 39 patients with SJIA, aged 4-25 years, median (IQR) BMI SDS was 0.1 (-0.5 to 1.7). Patients were divided into 2 groups, overweight/obese (OW/OB) (n = 11) and lean (n = 28). Only one obese patient had prediabetes and none had diabetes. In comparison with sex- and age-matched OW/OB controls (n = 33), OW/OB patients with SJIA had higher insulin resistance [median (IQR) HOMA-IR: 2.6 (2.1-3.3) vs 1.5 (0.8-2.0), p = 0.001], lower insulin sensitivity [median (IQR) WBISI: 3.7 (2.7-5.9) vs 5.4 (4.5-8.7), p = 0.024], and higher insulin secretion [median (IQR) IGI: 2.5 (2.0-3.5) vs 1.0 (0.8-1.9), p = 0.001]. In lean patients with SJIA, insulin sensitivity indices seemed to be comparable with those of lean controls.
conclusionsOverweight/obese children with SJIA seemed to have increased insulin resistance and thus may have an increased risk for developing diabetes.
