1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Herpes Zoster (HZ) or shingles is the reactivation of the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), usually along a single sensory nerve, but can affect both sensory and motor cranial nerves. Major risk factors for HZ include immunosuppressed status and age older than 60 years. In the United States, the lifetime risk of HZ is approximately 30%. Worldwide, the median incidence of HZ is 4-4.5 per 1000 person-years across the Americas, Eurasia, and Australia. HZ ophthalmicus, occurring in 10-20% of patients, is an ophthalmic emergency characterized by VZV reactivation along the V
