Reactivation of Herpes Zoster After Recombinant Vaccine (Shingrix): A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Herpes zoster (HZ) is a common contagious dermatological condition that results from reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which currently could be prevented by vaccination. We describe a rare case of varicella infection reactivation after routine zoster vaccination in an immunocompetent female in her 60s who developed dermatomal pruritic and vesicular rash one week after receiving Shingrix vaccine, along with fever, sweating, headache, and fatigue. The patient was treated as a case of herpes zoster reactivation with a seven days course of acyclovir. She continued to do well on follow-up with no significant complications. Though uncommon, it is important for healthcare providers to recognize this adverse reaction to expedite testing and treatment.
