Human Herpesvirus 6 Infection of the Central Nervous System.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Human herpesvirus (HHV) 6 infects all children, usually during the first year of life. High fever is the hallmark of primary infection, with febrile seizures the most common complication. After primary infection, HHV-6 remains latent or persistent at multiple sites, with intermittent reactivation. Many disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) have been linked to HHV-6 reactivation, including chronic seizure disorders, encephalitis, and demyelinating disorders including multiple sclerosis. Although multiple studies have pieced together an understanding of the molecular organization, viral characteristics, immunology, and epidemiology of HHV-6, the true role of this virus in diseases of the CNS is still unfolding.
