1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a rare cause of acute hepatitis, especially in patients with chronic immunosuppression. We performed whole-genome HSV-1 sequencing with a metagenomics approach on peripheral blood samples from an Italian case of fatal acute liver failure with high circulating HSV-1 (1,129,900,000 copies/mL), followed by phylogenetic analysis. After multiple sequence alignment, a final dataset of 182 whole-genome sequences was selected. The sequenced HSV-1 strain belonged to a phylogenetic clade isolated in Florida in 2002 (OQ724868.1). A characterization of single nucleotide polymorphisms and indels was performed to determine their effects on the viral genome: only one variant, classified as an indel, was detected with a high impact effect (c.905_906insGTTTT) in the
