Simultaneous Occurrence of Hyponatremia and Hypokalemia in a Patient with Herpes Zoster: A Case Report with a Review of the Literature.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We herein report a patient with herpes zoster (HZ), severe hyponatremia, and hypokalemia. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) leads to euvolemic hyponatremia and hypoosmotic plasma due to inadequate diuresis. Hyponatremia in the current patient was caused by SIAD and associated with HZ of the trigeminal facial nerve (V1). The patient also had hypokalemia, with excessive urinary potassium excretion and elevated cortisol levels. Hypokalemia is caused by hypercortisolemia, which is stimulated by HZ pain. Adequate treatment for HZ and comprehensive pain control play pivotal roles in improving SIAD, cortisol hypersecretion, and the subsequent electrolyte abnormalities.
