A Case of Acute Polyarthritis With a Suspected Association to Mycoplasma Infection Without Extrapulmonary Manifestations.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Mycoplasma pneumonia, an atypical pneumonia that commonly causes community-acquired pneumonia, can induce extrapulmonary manifestations at different sites, such as the central nervous system, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. These extrapulmonary manifestations can present without respiratory symptoms, making the diagnosis challenging. Herein, we report the case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with polyarthritis following fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. At the time of examination, mycoplasma pneumonia had spread in the community, which led to the diagnosis. Her polyarthritis improved one week after the administration of an antibiotic and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Understanding the prevalence of infectious diseases in the community can help in the diagnosis of uncommon presentations based on symptoms, such as the acute onset of polyarthritis, that may be caused by an infectious disease.
