Current and future advances in practice: arboviral arthritides.
Review in Rheumatology advances in practice, 2025. 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
Arboviral arthritides are a group of viral infections affecting the musculoskeletal system. Mosquitoes are vectors for some of the arboviral febrile diseases such as due to chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses, which constitute a major proportion of arboviral arthritide syndromes in humans. They have gained epidemiological importance as the natural habitats of these mosquitoes are in the vicinity of human dwellings. Chikungunya virus infection frequently leads to post-infectious chronic musculoskeletal syndromes including erosive inflammatory arthritis, which resembles RA. Clinical features of the chronic phase result from the chronic persistence of the virus in certain tissues after the acute infection has resolved. In addition, the triggering of autoimmunity has also been implicated in musculoskeletal syndromes. Due to the diversity of clinical presentations and overlapping features with other viral illnesses and inflammatory arthritides, diagnosis and management are challenging. Poor prognostic factors for predicting evolution to chronic arthritides are not well delineated. There is no universal agreement regarding when to start immunomodulatory agents and the duration of such therapy. The lack of specific antiviral agents adds to the complexity of the situation. A live-attenuated vaccine has been recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of chikungunya virus infection. This review discusses the musculoskeletal syndromes related to arboviral infections, with a major focus on chikungunya virus-related arthritis to provide practical guidance to clinicians involved in managing patients with chikungunya and its sequelae.
