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) is caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus and presents with painful vesicular lesions in a dermatomal distribution. Disseminated HZ occurs when skin lesions erupt in numerous dermatomes. Upadacitinib is the first oral medication approved to treat moderate-severe Crohn's disease and has been associated with nonsevere cases of HZ. We present a case of a 60-year-old woman with refractory Crohn's disease who failed multiple immunosuppressive therapies, completed the recombinant zoster vaccines, and developed disseminated HZ on high-dose upadacitinib. She was treated with intravenous acyclovir, upadacitinib was discontinued, and was discharged on suppressive valacyclovir.
