Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus Complicated by Unilateral Ptosis and Abducens Nerve Palsy: 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 2 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 ophthalmicus (HZO) is a viral condition that presents as a painful vesicular rash in the trigeminal nerve dermatome. In some cases, self-limiting extraocular muscle palsies may occur several weeks after the onset of HZO and last for weeks to months. A 71-year-old man developed a debilitating binocular horizontal diplopia and ptosis about four weeks after the onset of HZO symptoms. He had no uveitis, keratitis, or changes in visual acuity. Examination revealed left abducens palsy and ptosis. Symptoms resolved within eight weeks without any intervention.
