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

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) in differentiating juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) from reactive arthritis (ReA) in Chinese children aged under 18. Methods: This study conducted a retrospective analysis of 865 arthritis patients treated at Capital Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Capital Medical University between January 2020 and January 2025. Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between SII and inflammatory biomarkers. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the independence of SII in JIA diagnosis, and the diagnostic performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: The diagnostic performance for differentiating JIA from ReA was evaluated using ROC curves. The area under the curve (AUC) values were as follows: SII (AUC = 0.83), c-reactive protein (CRP) (AUC = 0.81), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (AUC = 0.78), hemoglobin (Hb) (AUC = 0.75). To statistically compare these AUC values, we implemented the DeLong test. The DeLong test results showed that the AUC of SII was significantly higher than that of CRP ( Conclusion: The SII values in JIA patients are higher than those in ReA and are associated with disease activity. This suggests that SII is applicable for early differential diagnosis between these two types of arthritis.
