1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Esophagitis caused by Herpes Simplex virus is a well-recognized opportunistic infection in the immunocompromised or severely ill host. However, it is uncommon in otherwise immunocompetent host. It usually responds well to a course of acyclovir. We report a case of young female without any other immunocompromised state who presented with severe dysphagia. She was diagnosed endoscopically and later with histopathology and recovered well after a course of acyclovir.
