Recurrent herpes labialis as a potential risk factor for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
Article in Journal of the National Medical Association, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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-control study was undertaken to determine if recurrent herpes labialis posed an independent risk factor for the development of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy among individuals with small optic nerve cup:disk ratio. The study population was comprised of 43 nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy cases and 30 consecutive control subjects with < or = 0.1 optic nerve cup:disk ratio. The two groups were compared with respect to the history of recurrent herpes labialis, cigarette smoking status, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease. The nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy cases were comparable to controls with respect to cigarette smoking status, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease status. Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy cases were significantly more likely to have a history of recurrent herpes labialis than controls. Herpes simplex virus as identified by recurrent herpes labialis plays a role in the development of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. However, a casual relationship cannot be established.
