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

Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection can follow a virulent course, leading to possible infection-related mortality in immunocompromised hosts. Visceral disseminated VZV infection is a rare disease with a high mortality rate in immunocompromised patients. We present a case of acute liver failure and acute myocarditis due to visceral disseminated VZV infection in an immunocompromised patient who had recently received kidney transplantation and who subsequently showed dramatic improvement after treatment with intravenous acyclovir and intravenous immunoglobulin. Severe epigastric pain preceded the vesicular skin lesions; therefore, the diagnosis and treatment could have been delayed. Such delays have caused mortality in most previous cases. Therefore, it is necessary to consider visceral disseminated viral infection in the differential diagnosis of immunocompromised patients when multi-organ failure progresses with an unknown cause.
