Analysis of clinical characteristics and factors influencing herpes simplex virus keratitis.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and factors associated with herpes simplex virus keratitis. Methods: Patients with herpes simplex virus keratitis who came to our hospital from January 2018 to June 2022 were selected and divided into a good prognosis group and a poor prognosis group according to their prognosis. The clinical data of the two groups were compared, and univariate/multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the poor prognosis of herpes simplex virus keratitis. Results: A one-way analysis of variance showed that, compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had more elderly patients and a longer course of disease, and the difference was statistically significant ( Conclusion: The clinical symptoms of herpes simplex virus keratitis include corneal opacity, corneal posterior elastic layer folds, corneal infiltration, posterior corneal mass, corneal edema, and ocular pain. Age and course of disease are important factors in the prognosis of herpes simplex virus keratitis.
