Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Caused by Varicella Pneumonia in an Immunocompetent Adult: A Case Report.
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
Varicella infection, caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), is a self-limiting disease in immunocompetent individuals. However, in patients with immunosuppression, underlying pulmonary disease, and risk factors such as aging, smoking, and pregnancy, it can lead to a potentially life-threatening disseminated disease. Lungs are the most frequently affected internal organ in disseminated VZV. Varicella pneumonia commonly presents with progressive respiratory symptoms accompanied by a cutaneous rash. Varicella pneumonia can rapidly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Timely clinical recognition, supported by radiological findings and molecular testing, along with early treatment, is key to improving prognosis. We present a case of ARDS complicating varicella pneumonia in an immunocompetent 25-year-old male who presented with skin rash and respiratory compromise, but without inflammatory nodules on chest imaging.
