Epidemiology of herpes zoster at a tertiary care centre in Eastern India.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Herpes zoster infection is characterized by dermatomal distribution of painful vesicles occurring due to reactivation of the latent varicella-zoster virus and poses the risk of serious complications. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the epidemiology, clinical presentation and outcomes of patients diagnosed with herpes zoster in a tertiary care centre in Eastern India. From June 2023 to December 2024, a series of herpes zoster patients consulting the Dermatology Outpatient Department at Burdwan Medical College and Hospital participated in this cross-sectional study. Detailed history, clinical examination, Tzanck smear, hemogram, fasting plasma glucose and HIV screening were conducted. The significance of early diagnosis, prompt antiviral therapy and appropriate pain management in reducing complications such as postherpetic neuralgia and secondary infections is shown in this study.
