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

Paediatric rheumatic diseases (RMDs) are characterized by dysregulation of the immune system functions due to a combination of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. In many cases, children and young people (CYP) with RMDs require long-term pharmacological interventions to control their symptoms, minimize the risk of disease relapse and organ damage and ultimately preserve their quality of life. The past decades have seen significant progress in the expansion of therapeutic options licensed or available off-license for CYP with RMDs, and an unprecedented number of paediatric interventional clinical trials testing new therapies. This review aims to appraise the paediatric rheumatology community on available pharmacological therapies for use in childhood-onset RMDs, including conventional, biologic and targeted synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, immunoglobulins and cell-based therapies, highlighting their known indications, as well as current guidelines and consensus recommendations supporting their use off-license. We review the paediatric dosing regimens available for the treatment of RMDs and other autoimmune conditions, the toxicity profile of available therapeutic agents and provide a comprehensive evaluation of emerging therapies for childhood RMDs, currently tested in clinical trials.
