Generalized herpes zoster and cutaneous metastasis during chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer: A case report.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2021. 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
Although herpes zoster is known to occur in some patients with lung cancer, generalized (disseminated) herpes zoster is an uncommon form whereby hematogenous dissemination of the virus occurs and leads to the development of widespread cutaneous lesions. Similarly, skin is an uncommon site of metastasis in patients with lung cancer. Here, we report a clinical case of a 53-year-old male patient who developed generalized herpes zoster during chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) and subsequently developed cutaneous metastasis of lung cancer after generalized herpes zoster was cured by treatment with intravenous aciclovir. The coincidence of these two conditions, generalized herpes zoster and cutaneous metastasis, in the patient during lung cancer treatment might be associated with an impaired or dysregulated immune system partly due to repeated chemotherapy, indicating a poor prognosis. Close observation and accurate diagnosis of changes in the skin of patients with lung cancer are important when evaluating their immune status and considering their therapy and prognosis.
