The benefits of physical therapy in juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Review in Rheumatology international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 chronic rheumatic disease in children and an important cause of short-term and long-term disability. Recommended physiotherapy activity programs are essential for controlling JIA associated complications such as stiffness, deformity, muscle contractures, and cramps. It is uncertain if physiotherapy (PT) can significantly enhance prognosis and quality of life (QOL). In this review we focused on the specific effects of various PT on JIA manifestations. To conduct a literature review, the databases PubMed, Scopus, and DOAJ (last access in June 2023) were searched. The PubMed search returned a total of 952 articles, Scopus returned 108, and DOAJ returned no results. After screening, the final list included 18 papers on PT treatment for JIA patients. In children with JIA, targeted PT exercise may have the ability to improve strength, posture, aerobic conditioning, gait, functional mobility, and reduce pain.
