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

VZV vasculopathy has been associated with granulomatous vasculitis where there is vessel wall damage and transmural inflammation. VZV vasculopathy has been previously called granulomatous angiitis, VZV vasculitis or post-varicella arteriopathy. Intracerebral VZV vasculopathy can occur in children and adults, either after primary infection or after viral reactivation. Where-as varicella primary infection is a common cause of stroke in children, in adults there is an increased risk of stroke after herpes zoster. Here we present a 38-year-old immunocompromised patient who presents to us with multiple cerebral infarcts post primary infection and imaging showing distribution similar to those in children.
