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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveJuvenile-onset Inflammatory Rheumatisms (JIR) are rare systemic inflammatory diseases that begin in childhood or adolescence. Numerous recommendations have been developed to support physicians, but implementation may vary in real-life. The JIR-Clinical Practice Strategies (CliPS) project investigates clinical practices for JIR diseases. This article describes the rationale of the JIR-CliPS project to serve as methodological foundation for future publications on disease-specific findings.

methodsThe JIR-CLiPS network was launched in 2020 to collect CliPS in real-life on five medical conditions: lupus nephritis, vasculitis (including IgA vasculitis and Kawasaki disease), use of biologicals for hereditary autoinflammatory diseases, periodic fever with aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAFA) / systemic undefined recurrent fevers (SURF) syndrome, and Still's disease. Specific questionnaires were developed, covering physician demographics, disease-specific approaches, and local healthcare constraints.

resultsFrom June 2022 to April 2024, 534 physicians from 66 countries across six continents participated, completing in 1,193 questionnaires. Respondents were primarily pediatricians and rheumatology specialists, working both at universities and in local hospitals; although most participants reported at least 10 years' experience, younger doctors also took part. Participants from only a few countries shared the development of local or national JIR-specific recommendations, with variable awareness and adherence.

conclusionThe JIR-CliPS network has achieved broad international physician participation. Thanks to the knowledge gathered, a library with CliPS adapted to various local and country-specific constraints is currently under development, bridging the gap between published recommendations and achievable everyday practice. This robust methodology ensures a comprehensive and globally representative dataset for future disease-specific publications.
