Peripheral polyneuropathy associated with Chikungunya virus infection.
Article in Journal of neurovirology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arbovirus transmitted to humans through mosquito bites and can cause a series of symptoms ranging from a benign febrile illness to severe neurological conditions. We report the identification of CHIKV in a serum sample from an elderly woman with febrile illness and severe arthralgia in Brazil. The occurrence was found of peripheral polyneuropathy affecting the upper and lower limbs evidenced by electroneuromyographic findings. The patient was treated with a corticoid associated with methotrexate, suggesting that the pathophysiological basis of the case in question may be related to an immune-mediated response by T cells and inflammatory cytokines. This finding reinforces the need to be aware of the emergence of neuroinfections related to CHIKV and effective diagnoses for the early detection of neurological alterations, favoring the clinical management of these patients.
