Disseminated Herpes Zoster During COVID-19.
Article in Infectious diseases in clinical practice (Baltimore, Md.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a variety of dermatological conditions were reported by physicians. Given the context, these lesions have been labeled as secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. We report the case of a recurrence of herpes zoster in a patient hospitalized with an SARS-CoV-2 infection. The rash occurred on the 15th day of hospitalization while the patient was recovering from a severe form. Local swab showed the presence of varicella-zoster virus within the vesicles. Dermatological symptoms secondary to COVID-19 have been frequently described. This is the first case that demonstrates the recurrence of herpes zoster during a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
