Clinical Management of Herpes Zoster Complicated by MRSA Infection.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 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
A 59-year-old male presented with a 10-day history of erythematous vesicular lesions on the left chest and shoulder, accompanied by pain in the back. Clinical examination revealed grouped vesicles with some ulceration and exudate, leading to a diagnosis of herpes zoster. After a clear diagnosis, antiviral treatment with valacyclovir and pain relief with pregabalin was administered. Apply povidone-iodine and normal saline (in a 1:10 ratio) externally, once a day, for 30 minutes each time. One week later, the lesions developed ulcers and crusts, with increased exudate; cultures yielded a significant growth of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA). Based on the drug sensitivity results, cefuroxime combined with levofloxacin was administered for anti-infection treatment. Following two weeks of treatment, the patient showed significant clinical improvement. The patient's rashes have significantly subsided, the ulcers have healed and scabbed over, and the exudation has noticeably decreased. Herpes zoster combined with MRSA infection makes the treatment more complicated. This case illustrates the complexities of managing herpes zoster with MRSA and highlights the importance of comprehensive diagnostic and treatment strategies.
