Acute Stroke Caused by Progressive Intracranial Artery Stenosis Due to Varicella Zoster Virus Vasculopathy after Chemotherapy for Malignant Lymphoma.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2021. 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
Decreased cell-mediated immunity can reactivate Varicella zoster virus (VZV), which can lead to various neurological complications, including vasculopathy. We herein report the case of a patient with acute stroke with progressive internal carotid artery stenosis due to VZV vasculopathy after chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma. Treatment for VZV vasculopathy improved the stenosis and prevented recurrent stroke. VZV vasculopathy is an important treatable cause of stroke in immunosuppressed patients.
