Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) Meningoencephalitis in an Immunocompetent Young Adolescent Female.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The case that we report occurred in a previously healthy, fully immunized 13-year-old female presenting with severe unilateral headaches and generalized tonic-clonic seizures and subsequently diagnosed with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) meningoencephalitis. The patient was successfully treated with acyclovir and seizures were controlled with valproic acid. The HSV meningoencephalitis has high morbidity and mortality. Our case highlights one of the severe presentations of HSV meningoencephalitis in young adolescents that can manifest with headaches, fever, seizures, focal neurologic signs, and altered mental status. We also highlight the need for a thorough workup among pediatric providers in the emergency and inpatient departments to avoid delays in diagnosis that can lead to poor outcomes.
