Reactivation and Management of Endogenous Latent Herpesviruses in the Spaceflight Environment.
Review in Current microbiology, 2026. 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
The microgravity, radiation, and high-stress environment of space present unique challenges to astronauts' physical and mental health. In this environment, interactions between the host and pathogens are altered, thereby increasing astronauts' risk of endogenous viral infections. Notably, viral shedding detected during spaceflight does not necessarily indicate clinically significant disease, and the distinction between molecular reactivation, productive viral replication, and symptomatic infection must be carefully considered. This review aims to ensure mission success and enhance space biocapacity and biodefence by summarizing case studies and reactivation mechanisms of endogenous latent herpesviruses, the latest prevention and control strategies, and the challenges posed by host variability and antiviral efficacy in the space environment.
