Tumor-like presentation of herpetic cervicitis: A case report.
Article in Case reports in women's health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The case of a 20-year-old immunocompetent woman with necrotizing cervicitis of the cervix caused by a primary infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 is presented, along with its respective evolution in images. Cervical cancer was included in the differential diagnoses, but biopsies ruled out malignancy and laboratory tests demonstrated the viral etiology of the cervical inflammation. After initiating specific treatment, the cervical lesions completely healed within 3 weeks. This case highlights the need to consider herpes simplex infection in the differential diagnosis of cervical inflammation and tumor formation. Additionally, it provides images that can aid in diagnosis and allow for the observation of its clinical evolution.
