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

The treatment of a patient with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is best monitored with standardized and validated tools to measure joint changes over time. Treatment approaches are best indicated if the clinicians are aware of the structural status of the joint at a given time, especially in anatomically deep joints for which clinical assessment is limited. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of utmost importance for assessment of deep joints and extra-articular soft tissue of the entire body for which ultrasound may be suboptimal. Because the distinction between pathologic and physiologic joint changes on MRI is key for proper diagnosis and treatment of patients with arthropathies, a comprehensive standardized approach is needed to effectively measure outcomes of growing joints of children with JIA. Such an approach is essential for both clinical assessment and to conduct clinical trials in patients with JIA treated in different centers around the world. To meet this need, several international imaging collaborative research groups have been developing MRI scales over the past years, including the MRI in JIA (JAMRI) special interest group within the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) research network. This manuscript reviews the efforts of the OMERACT JAMRI working group to generate and validate pediatric MRI scoring systems for different joints in children with JIA that can have ubiquitous utilization anywhere in the world. In particular, it describes the different steps of development and validation of an MRI scale using the TMJ as a model.
