Case of reactive arthritis in the knees resulting from COVID-19 infection alleviated by a deep muscle stimulator technique.
Article in IDCases, 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
Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a rare but debilitating symptom occurring after COVID-19 infection. Although there are numerous drugs available for treatment, people prefer not to have drug side effects and choose alternative therapies. Deep muscle stimulator (DMS) treated various types of arthritis, but this is the first case it has remedied ReA resulting from COVID-19 unresponsive to other treatments. The patient recovered to full range of motion and function of the knees in less than 3 days post-treatment. DMS has a theoretical method of action as therapeutic ultrasound, which may disperse the virus from around the joints and decrease inflammation.
