Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, with tinea capitis and peripheral eosinophilia: a case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Background: Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) is a unique subtype of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) with very special clinical manifestations, complications, and management options. The simultaneous presentation of tinea capitis and eosinophilia has not been reported in the context of Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis before. Case presentation: A 5-year-old Sudanese boy presented with fever and bilateral ankle arthritis in a background of extensive scalp lesions, which were scaly, itchy, and associated with hair loss. On examination: his weight was on the fifth percentile. There was cervical lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, and signs of bilateral ankle arthritis. Complete blood counts revealed leucocytosis, thrombocytosis, mild eosinophilia, and microcytic hypochromic anemia. Anti-dsDNA was positive with equivocal ANA profile, CRP was 34.4 mg/l, and LDH was very high. The patient received antibiotics, systemic antifungal, corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine for which he achieved good results. Discussion: These results support the diagnosis of SJIA in a background of a tinea capitis with mild eosinophilia. Several case reports described extensive dermatophytosis in the background of other autoimmune diseases. The etiology of the eosinophilia was mysterious. Conclusion: Physicians should be alert to the presentation of systemic JIA. The association between SJIA, tinea capitis, and eosinophilia remained largely mysterious, and multicenter studies are needed to explore this further.
