Septic Arthritis of the Shoulder Following Ozone Therapy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ozone therapy does not yet have a fully understood mechanism of action, and its use should be approached with caution. Septic arthritis, an acute joint infection, requires immediate intervention due to its severity and the risk of complications such as sepsis and permanent damage. This is a qualitative case report based on medical record analysis, along with a literature review on ozone therapy. A 65-year-old male patient with HIV, hypothyroidism, and systemic arterial hypertension presented with right shoulder pain, which worsened after undergoing ozone therapy. Upon admission to the emergency department, he exhibited signs of inflammation, restricted range of motion, a 60 cm³ subcutaneous fluid collection, and bone rarefaction on imaging. Surgical debridement was performed, with drainage of purulent secretion and collection of material for culture, which identified
