The Genetics of Eczema Herpeticum.
Review in Clinical reviews in allergy & immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Eczema herpeticum (EH) is a viral skin infection caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) superimposed on eczematous skin lesions in atopic dermatitis (AD). Though the pathogenesis of EH has yet to be fully elucidated, the fact that EH is relatively rare despite a majority of adults showing serologic evidence of HSV exposure points to a genetic component predisposing to the disease. A number of genetic variants have been isolated in EH which may help distinguish a subgroup of patients susceptible to developing the condition. These unique genetic characteristics include deficiencies in skin barrier function and hydration, as well as at the level of the immune system. In this review, we summarize the genetic findings associated with EH identified to date. Isolating genetic markers in EH will be instrumental in stratifying patients at risk for EH and will have significant implications in the development and tailoring of targeted therapies.
