Hemorrhagic Meningitis Due to Varicella-Zoster Virus: A Case Report With Clinical, Cytologic, and Radiologic Correlation.
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
Although varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is known to affect the central nervous system in a protean manner, hemorrhagic VZV meningitis has not been well documented in the literature. Here, we correlate the clinical, cytologic, and radiologic findings in an immunocompromised patient presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with VZV meningitis. Clinical findings included multidermatomal zoster, myelitis, and neurapraxia. Magnetic resonance imaging findings included superficial siderosis and diffused linear and nodular leptomeningeal enhancement. Cerebrospinal fluid cytology revealed hemorrhage and lymphocytic pleocytosis. This case report adds hemorrhagic meningitis to the spectrum of complications associated with disseminated VZV infection.
