Efficacy of adalimumab in pediatric non-infectious uveitis with and without anterior segment inflammation.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of cases that is related to the response rate of adalimumab (ADA) treatment.
methodsA retrospective review of medical records was conducted for pediatric patients with non-infectious uveitis undergoing ADA treatment for a minimum of six months. The patients were stratified into two groups: those with anterior segment inflammation (ASI+) and those without anterior segment inflammation (ASI-). The primary outcome was treatment success rate. Secondary outcomes including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), inflammation parameters [anterior chamber cell (ACC), vitreous haze (VH)], retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, fluorescein angiography (FA) scores, as well as systemic immunosuppression therapy (IMT) and glucocorticoid load, were assessed.
resultsThe study included 59 patients (111 eyes), with 44 patients (83 eyes, 74.58%) falling into the ASI + group and 15 patients (28 eyes, 25.42%) in the ASI- group. The treatment success rate in the ASI + group was significantly higher than in ASI- patients (93.18% vs. 20%, p < 0.001). Following 6-month of ADA treatment in the ASI + group, there was a significant improvement in BCVA (p < 0.001), inflammation parameters (p < 0.001), reduced RNFL thickness and reduced FA scores (p < 0.001). Conversely, no significant differences were observed in BCVA, inflammation parameters, RNFL thickness and FA scores in the ASI- group. There was also a significant decrease in systemic IMT and glucocorticoid dosing, comparing baseline to the 6-month follow-up visit in both the ASI+ (p < 0.001) and ASI- groups (p < 0.05). Adverse events observed during the study period included abdominal pain, skin erythema, articular symptoms and respiratory infections.
conclusionADA demonstrates superior efficacy in the treating pediatric non-infectious uveitis with ASI + compared to ASI-.
