1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Since 1978, the study of health and behavior has become a major focus of scientists in psychology, psychiatry, nursing, neuroscience, and in traditional medical science disciplines. Investigation of psychological or behavioral influences on biological systems has established that biobehavioral processes such as stress play an important role in disease processes. An excellent example of the interactions between stress and health outcomes is the reactivation of latent herpes simplex virus (HSV) leading to recurrent lesions. This article describes what is currently known about HSV latency and reactivation and considers some mechanisms by which stress-induced changes in the host's immune and nervous systems might allow for either the establishment or reactivation of latent viral infections.
