Clinical Profile, Risk Factors and Complications of Paediatric Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus-A Case Series.

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
To study the clinical profile, risk factors and complications of paediatric Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO). Case records of clinically diagnosed paediatric HZO over the past five years period were collected. An analysis was done with the existing data to determine the patient's clinical presentation, risk factors and treatment outcomes. Among seven children (three males and four females), two were less than ten years. Risk factors like previous history of chickenpox were present in one patient and immunosuppression in another. Child with immunosuppression also had h/o viral encephalitis three days before the onset of HZO. While two patients presented with disciform keratitis and three with anterior uveitis, the remaining did not have anterior segment involvement. Six out of seven patients retained 6/6 visual acuity at one month follow-up. Paediatric HZO is prevalent even in immunocompetent children without any identifiable risk factor. It generally has a good prognosis with minimum residual complications.
