Diagnostic Challenge: Prolonged Misdiagnosis of Perianal Herpes in an Immunosuppressed Transplant Patient.
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
Perianal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection represents a rarely reported clinical variant that is frequently misdiagnosed. We present a case of perianal HSV in a patient with a history of renal transplantation and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Following a previous diagnosis of perianal eczema, the patient's cutaneous lesions slowly worsened despite treatment with topical corticosteroids. Notably, the presence of well-demarcated superficial erosions, combined with immunosuppressive conditions including diabetes mellitus and renal transplantation, prompted targeted HSV screening which confirmed the diagnosis. This case underscores the importance of considering HSV testing in patients presenting with atypical perianal eruptions.
