Segmental Zoster Paresis With Comorbid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
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
This case report involves a 63-year-old male who presented with acute right deltoid weakness following a shingles outbreak in the C6 dermatome, with a chronic history of carpal tunnel syndrome. Notably, the patient had an overuse injury to his shoulder and received a cortisone injection prior to the shingles outbreak. Electrodiagnostic (EDX) testing initially revealed right C6 acute/subacute cervical radiculitis and right severe median neuropathy at the wrist with significant axonal loss. Repeat EDX studies five months following the onset of shoulder paresis showed improved motor recruitment and reinnervation of the C6 lesion, while the median neuropathy findings remain unchanged. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of concurrent proximal and distal nerve pathologies, often referred to as double crush syndrome, as well as considerations for management and natural history of segmental zoster paresis.
