Algorithm for Growth Evaluation in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
Article in Current health sciences journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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) includes a range of inflammatory conditions that exhibit chronic arthritis with various clinical presentations. The disease's heterogeneity leads to different impacts on children's health, both short and long-term. Compromised growth, seen as growth retardation and delayed puberty, is a common complication in children with JIA, severely impacting their quality of life. This impairment is linked to disease duration and activity, with severe cases in systemic and polyarticular subtypes. Literature reports growth retardation incidence from 8% to 41%, but data on pubertal impairment is lacking. Growth in children is influenced by systemic and local mechanisms. Chronic inflammation, prolonged glucocorticosteroid (GCS) use, and nutritional issues contribute to growth stunting and pubertal delays. Chronic inflammation in JIA flattens growth curves, while steroid treatment impairs growth and causes weight gain. Disruption of the GH/IGF1 axis is known, but data on systemic hormonal resistance in JIA are insufficient. Optimizing JIA treatment, including biological therapies, is expected to improve growth velocity and reduce long-term impacts by better disease control and reduced GCS doses. Thyroid function also influences growth and puberty, but comprehensive studies on thyroid involvement in JIA are lacking. Given the early onset of chronic inflammatory consequences, preventive auxological screening measures are necessary for children with JIA. Early detection of developmental disorders can enhance therapeutic management. This article summarizes information from a cohort study on growth in children with JIA and proposes a diagnostic algorithm for clinical use.
