Work Productivity Loss and Activity Impairment in Parents of Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
Article in ACR open rheumatology, 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
objectiveTo determine the impact of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) on work productivity loss and daily activities of parents.
methodsThe multicenter Canada-Netherlands Understanding Childhood Arthritis Network (UCAN) CAN-DU and CURE study captures consecutive clinical and patient-reported data for patients and parents since 2019. Parents' responses to the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment, Specific Health Problem related to their child's JIA were combined with demographic information and clinical reports from enrollment to 12 months. Demographic and clinical data were summarized, and generalized estimating equations (GEEs) were used to estimate absenteeism, presenteeism, work impairment, daily activities impairment, and wage loss. GEE covariates included JIA activity state, time from study enrollment, patient age group, and patient age at diagnosis.
resultsOf the 754 parents, 635 were mothers with median age of 42 years (interquartile range = 10 years). Changes in work commitment were reported by 79 parents, primarily reducing working hours (n = 55). Over 12 months, because of their child's JIA, there was an estimated 6% of missed work time (absenteeism), 14% of working time impairment (presenteeism), 12% of combined work impairment, and 16% of daily activities impairment. Absenteeism resulted in an estimated average annual wage loss of €3,510 per family. Work impairment and activity impairment estimates were higher for parents of children with more severe disease activity.
conclusionThis study is the first to capture the adjusted work impairment and activity impairment for a large international cohort of parents of children across all JIA subtypes and at different stages of treatment.
