Human herpesvirus-7 meningitis in an immunocompetent adult patient: a case report.
Article in Future science OA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Aim: The underlying pathological mechanisms of CNS human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7) related infections are still unknown, especially among immunocompetent adults. Although HHV-7 meningitis in immunocompetent adults is usually uncommon, serious consideration for possible HHV-7 involvement should be taken when assessing CNS infection of unknown etiology. Case presentation: We report a 53-year-old female who presented for fever and progressive headaches. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis was compatible with a viral meningitis. CSF cultures were negative and HHV-7 DNA was the only strain detected in the CSF analysis. The patient died 1 month later following complications and cardiac arrest. Conclusion: HHV-7 CNS infection in immunocompetent patient can be a serious infection. Prompt diagnosis and treatment management are essential for better outcome.
