Acute Rheumatic Fever or Post-streptococcal Reactive Arthritis: Two Different Entities.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
The authors present the case of a 71-year-old man with fever, polyarthralgia, and migratory arthritis after the diagnosis of pharyngitis one week earlier. The patient showed unequivocal evidence of recent group A streptococcal (GAS) infection with a significantly elevated antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer that normalized during follow-up. The symptoms, laboratory results, and clinical examination raised uncertainty about whether the patient was suffering from acute rheumatic fever (ARF) or post-streptococcal reactive arthritis (PSReA), as the patient exhibited characteristics of both conditions. These two conditions share a similar origin and, in some cases, lack clear distinction, suggesting that they may be part of the same disease spectrum. The case emphasizes the importance of considering ARF in patients with suspected recent streptococcal infections who present with polyarthralgia and fever, ensuring early and appropriate treatment to prevent complications.
