The incidence and prevalence of juvenile idiopathic arthritis differs between ethnic groups in England.
Article in Rheumatology (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectivesJIA is a heterogeneous group of rare autoimmune disorders characterized by chronic joint inflammation of unknown aetiology with onset under 16 years. Accurate estimates of disease rates help understand impacts on individuals and society, and provide evidence for health service planning and delivery. This study aimed to produce the first national estimates of incidence and prevalence by ethnic group using electronic health records.
methodsData from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum, a primary care electronic health record database in England, were used to estimate the incidence and prevalence of JIA by ethnic group amongst children and young people aged under 16 years between 2003 and 2018, with cases validated using Hospital Episode Statistics. χ2 was used to test the difference in proportions compared with the ethnic distribution of England.
resultsA total of 424 incident cases of JIA were identified, 389 validated using Hospital Episode Statistics records. Incidence of JIA was higher amongst those of white ethnic group (6.2 per 100 000 population) compared with mixed (3.0 per 100 000), Asian (2.7 per 100 000) and Black (2.9 per 100 000) communities. The ethnic group distribution of cases differed significantly compared with the general population (P < 0.0001).
conclusionThe incidence and prevalence of JIA differs between ethnic groups, and is different from the general population. This is likely to be due to a combination of genetic and equity factors. Further research to understand the underlying cause of these differences is important to enable targeted interventions and appropriate service provision.
