A Study of the Changes of T Helper 17 Cells and Regulatory T Cells in Herpes Zoster.
Article in Annals of dermatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundImmunosuppression and age-related deficiencies in cell-mediated immunity are important factors for the reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV). CD4
objectiveWe analyzed Treg cells and Th17 cells in patients with herpes zoster and investigated their relationship with the reactivation of latent VZV.
methodsTreg and Th17 cells in peripheral blood and the ratio of Th17 to Treg cells were examined in patients with herpes zoster and healthy controls. Changes between pre-treatment and post-treatment estimates of Treg and Th17 cells and clinical parameters in patients with herpes zoster were also analyzed.
resultsThe proportion of circulating Th17 cells and the Th17/Treg cell ratio were significantly higher in patients with herpes zoster than controls (
conclusionAn imbalance between Th17 and Treg cells is associated with the reactivation of VZV, which may contribute to pathogenesis of herpes zoster.
