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

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is defined as chronic arthritis of unknown etiology appearing in patients less than 16 years of age. The disease is heterogeneous and is classified as pauciarticular, polyarticular, or systemic-onset disease. A few lines of evidence suggest that T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. T cells infiltrating the synovial membrane bear markers of activation and produce cytokines. The association of particular subtypes of JRA with certain HLA class II alleles provides strong evidence in favor of T cell involvement through an HLA-peptide-T cell receptor complex. Limited data from a few patients with JRA on T cell receptor transcripts from synovial membrane or synovial fluid cells point towards oligoclonality. This further supports the concept that T cells infiltrating the synovial membrane or extravasating into synovial fluid in patients with JRA reflect antigen-driven T cell proliferation.
