Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Sub-Clinical Synovitis in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: The Disease Classification and Management.

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
backgroundUltrasonography (USG) is a perfect device for analyzing more than one joint in rather brief intervals of time and is well accepted by children with no harmful ionizing radiation, usually does not require sedation, and can be carried out without difficulty in an outpatient setting. PURPOSE: To demonstrate the ability of ultrasonography (USG) in detecting clinical and subclinical synovitis in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and compare the USG findings with clinical findings.
methods20 patients with JIA diagnosed according to the ILAR criteria were include. A total of 208 joints were examined both clinically and ultrasonographically for detection of synovitis. The presence of subclinical synovitis detected by USG was sought and its effect on the classification of JIA was assessed. USG assessment was done using the High-Resolution Linear probe including both grey scale and Power Doppler assessment.
resultsThe mean age of patients was 10.2 years with average disease duration of 5.9 months. A total of 49 joints (23.5%) had clinical synovitis and 59 joints (28.4%) had USG synovitis out of a total of 208 joints. A total of 14 joints had subclinical synovitis (8.8% out of the 159 clinically normal joints) upon USG. USG additionally brought about classifying three patients as having poly articular disorder who had been considered as oligo articular upon clinical examination.
conclusionUSG assessment of subclinical synovitis in JIA patients is an essential component of classifying the disease and detects more joints with synovitis than clinical examination; however, both are complimentary and should be used in combination in all patients with JIA.
