Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1-Induced Cervicitis Without Vulvar Lesions Mimicking Cervical Cancer in a Healthy Woman.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Genital herpes, caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2, is a common sexually transmitted disease typically presenting with genital lesions and discomfort. However, a cervical mass without vulvar lesions is a rare manifestation of the disease, often leading to diagnostic confusion with cervical cancer. This report highlights a unique case of HSV type 1-induced cervical swelling in the absence of vulvar lesions, confirmed through pathological diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first documented instance where HSV type 1-induced cervical mass was confirmed through pathological diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging, pathological analysis, and immunohistochemistry were key in distinguishing the condition from malignancy. This case underscores the importance of considering HSV infection in differential diagnoses for a cervical mass and provides critical insights for the accurate diagnosis and management of HSV-related cervicitis.
