Abducens Nerve Palsy as a Complication of Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Herpes zoster (shingles) is a common viral infection that results from the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which remains dormant in sensory ganglia after initial infection. The usual presentation is radicular pain followed by eruption of vesicular rash. herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) is defined as the involvement of ophthalmic division (V1) of the trigeminal nerve (V). Extraocular muscle paralysis is a rare complication of HZO. Here, we report a case of HZO that developed abducens nerve (VI) palsy and secondary raised intra-ocular pressure.
