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 simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) pneumonia presents diagnostic challenges due to there being no gold-standard criteria currently. Specimens from bronchoalveolar lavage can increase specificity, and cytohistological examination can prove virus infection. Patients with high viral load have been reported with poor outcomes and benefited from antiviral agent. We describe an 80-year-old man with severe pneumonia who initially showed improvement without antiviral therapy, despite viral inclusion bodies on sputum cytology and positive HSV1 polymerase chain reaction from sputum, though subsequent clinical deterioration due to
