Acute retinal necrosis caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 in a 3-year-old Japanese boy.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN), which is characterized by rapidly progressing peripheral retinal necrosis, is caused mainly by herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), or varicella-zoster virus. A previously healthy 3-year-old Japanese boy developed ARN in his left eye after being bruised by a milk container. HSV-2 DNA was detected in the aqueous humor of the affected eye. Serological testing suggested that the route of infection was from mother to child, although there was no past history of apparent HSV-2 infection. Childhood ARN has not been previously reported in Japan, possibly because of the low seroprevalence of HSV-2 in Japanese women. Pediatricians must be aware of this rare disease, which can affect individuals without a previous history of HSV even in a country with a low seroprevalence of HSV-2.
