Disseminated Varicella-Zoster Virus Presenting With Pneumonitis and Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage in an Immunocompetent Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Varicella pneumonitis is typically seen in individuals with risk factors such as male gender, smoking history, and immunocompromised state and is often associated with disseminated infection, whereas primary varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection usually involves a diffuse vesicular rash and rarely progresses to viral pneumonia. VZV pneumonitis accompanied by disseminated VZV infection is associated with a high mortality rate and may progress to diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in severe cases. In addition to cutaneous lesions, patients typically develop dyspnea, cough, tachypnea, chest pain, fever, and hemoptysis. Here, we present a rare case of disseminated VZV infection in an immunocompetent patient with pneumonitis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
