Diagnosing Oligoarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in a Two-Year-Old: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a rare heterogeneous group of autoimmune disorders presenting in children and is characterized by persistent joint inflammation without a known cause. Here, we present the clinical course of a two-year-old girl who developed acute right knee swelling without preceding trauma. Laboratory findings, joint aspiration, imaging, and clinical diagnosis initially suggested reactive arthritis; however, the persistence of symptoms and the emergence of a second affected joint led to the diagnosis of oligoarticular JIA. Laboratory analysis revealed a markedly elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA) titer with a homogeneous pattern, supporting the diagnosis. The patient was treated with intra-articular corticosteroid injections after a multidisciplinary evaluation. This case underscores the importance of considering JIA in young children with persistent monoarthritis, highlighting its evolving presentation, and initiating early rheumatologic involvement to guide diagnosis, manage complications such as uveitis, and tailor treatment strategies.
