Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases Following Pediatric Uveitis Diagnosis.
Article in JAMA network open, 2026. 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
Importance: Pediatric uveitis is frequently associated with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs); however, population-level estimates of IMID risk and immunosuppressant use are limited, as existing evidence is largely derived from tertiary-center cohorts with substantial referral bias. Objective: To estimate the incidence and risk of developing IMIDs among children and adolescents newly diagnosed with noninfectious uveitis without a prior history of IMIDs. Design, Setting, and Participants: This population-based cohort study includes nationwide health insurance claims data from Korea from January 2008 through February 2024. Participants included children and adolescents younger than 20 years who were newly diagnosed with uveitis in Korea between 2011 and 2022. Data were analyzed from February to November 2025. Exposure: Diagnosis of uveitis. Main Outcomes and Measures: Primary outcomes were the estimated 5-year cumulative incidence of a composite of 13 predefined IMIDs and the age- and sex-adjusted standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) compared with the general pediatric population. Results: In this cohort study, 27 656 children and adolescents (mean [SD] age, 12.6 [4.8] years; 16 827 males [58.3%]) with incident noninfectious uveitis and no prior IMID diagnosis or immunosuppressant prescription were identified. The estimated 5-year cumulative incidence of composite IMIDs was 8.52% (95% CI, 8.16%-8.87%). The most frequently newly diagnosed IMID following uveitis was ankylosing spondylitis (2.53%; 95% CI, 2.33%-2.73%); however, the distribution of IMIDs differed across age groups. Compared with the general pediatric population, the overall SIR for IMIDs was 6.78 (95% CI, 6.54-7.02). Disease-specific SIRs were the highest for sarcoidosis (444.48; 95% CI, 357.98-551.89), ankylosing spondylitis (68.9; 95% CI, 64.5-73.7), and Behçet disease (66.3; 95% CI, 57.8-76.0). The use of immunosuppressive therapies varied substantially by level of medical care, with a higher estimated 5-year incidence in secondary and tertiary care settings than in primary care settings (8.42%; 95% CI, 7.67%-9.16% vs 0.67%; 95% CI, 0.55%-0.79%; P < .001), along with variation in prescribed agents. Conclusions: In this cohort study, children and adolescents with uveitis had an approximately 7-fold increased risk of developing IMIDs compared with the general population, with variation in disease patterns and treatment according to demographic and health care factors. These findings highlight the importance of systematic and risk-stratified screening for IMIDs in pediatric patients with uveitis.
