Alezzandrini syndrome mimicking shingles - A rare case report with review of literature.
Article in Oman journal of ophthalmology. 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
Alezzandrini syndrome (AS) is a rare entity characterized by segmental vitiligo on the face with ipsilateral poliosis, degenerative retinitis, and hearing defect on the same side. We hereby report a rare case of AS who presented to an ophthalmologist just for the treatment of his unilateral whitened eyebrows and eyelashes raising cosmetic concerns. Presence of ipsilateral vitiligo with pigmentary changes limited by midline over forehead aroused suspicion of shingles. However, careful, comprehensive examination and elicitation of some classical signs led to the coincidental diagnosis of the rare AS. Patient was explained possibility of visual deterioration and was advised regular follow up with an ophthalmologist. Hence, all cases of ipsilateral poliosis with segmental vitiligo should always be screened for retinal degeneration and hearing defects. Patients with AS should be managed by a team of ophthalmologists, dermatologists, and otorhinologists.
