Development of Shingles on Tofacitinib Despite Completion of Recombinant Varicella-Zoster Virus Vaccine Series.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The risk of developing shingles increases with age, as well as in patients with weakened immune systems. Tofacitinib is a reversible Janus kinase inhibitor that suppresses the immune system and is used to treat autoimmune diseases, such as ulcerative colitis. Recombinant VZV vaccine is recommended for individuals taking tofacitinib and is highly effective at reducing the risk of shingles. This case report describes a patient with severe, refractory ulcerative colitis who developed shingles while on tofacitinib, despite prior vaccination with the recombinant VZV vaccine.
