Arthritis associated with Kawasaki disease after initial combination therapy with cyclosporine: a case report.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 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
Background: Since the 2020 revision of the Kawasaki disease (KD) treatment guidelines, there have been few reports of reactive arthritis secondary to treatment-resistant KD. This study reports a case of KD that required initial treatment with cyclosporine A (CyA) followed by additional infliximab (IFX) and secondary to reactive arthritis. Case Description: A 5-year-old boy met diagnostic criteria for KD on day 5 of fever and had an intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) refractory predictive score of 8 (≥5) was administered ulinastatin, IFX, and three IVIG doses in combination with CyA. His fever resolved on day 9. Subsequently, acetylsalicylic acid was changed to flurbiprofen and then to dipyridamole due to suspicion of a drug rash. Fever and pain appeared in ankle joints and right hip joint on day 18 of illness. Prednisolone (PSL) was started on day 23 of illness for reactive arthritis associated with KD, which improved the joint pain. No recurrence of joint symptoms or coronary artery lesions was observed after tapering off of PSL. Conclusions: Based on the evaluation at the start of treatment, although CyA is initially administered in potential IVIG-resistant patients, attention must be paid to secondary reactive arthritis if the patient becomes resistant to treatment and requires IFX treatment.
