Identifying the Multifactorial Triggers of Monthly Recurrent HSV-1 Reactivation: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. 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
Background: Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) causes recurrent oral lesions with reactivation triggered by factors such as stress, hormones, and nutrition. Immune suppression caused by these factors plays an important role in HSV-1 reactivation and requires comprehensive management. Purpose: This case report aims to analyze the relationship between triggering factors and recurrent HSV-1 infection and to achieve therapy to prevent recurrence. Case Presentation: A 39-year-old woman came with recurrent ulcers every month during her menstrual cycle. The results of the anamnesis showed other factors such as malnutrition and stress. Clinical examination showed ulcers on the lips, labial mucosa, and gingiva. A hemogram (complete blood count) examination revealed normal results, IgG anti-HSV-1 with reactive results, and IgM anti-HSV-1 non-reactive. The diagnosis was Herpes Labialis and Recurrent Intraoral Herpes (RIH). Case Management: Pharmacological therapy was acyclovir cream, chlorine dioxide mouthwash, acyclovir tablets, and vitamins. Non-pharmacological therapy includes improving oral hygiene, stress management (evaluation using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21/DASS-21), and improving nutrition. By the third visit, ulcers on the labial mucosa and lip commissures showed improvement, however, a new ulcer developed on the lower labial mucosa. The use of oral acyclovir tablets, hyaluronic acid gel, and stress management monitored using DASS-21 resulted in complete ulcer healing by the fifth visit. Conclusion: The multifactorial triggers for recurrent HSV-1 infection in this case are stress, hormonal, and nutritional. Pharmacological therapy in the form of acyclovir and chlorhexidine requires comprehensive management that combines antiviral therapy, stress management, and lifestyle changes by improving nutrition to overcome recurrent HSV-1 infections in the future.
