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 viruses are among the most prevalent of human virus infections. Productive replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV) is usually confined to mucocutaneous sites by the rapid deployment of innate and adaptive immune responses. Infection invariably results in establishment of latency and in some cases results in periodic reactivation of the virus. This article focuses primarily on ocular herpes with emphasis on the pathogenesis of stromal keratitis. Herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK) is an immunopathologic disease, which indeed is one of the leading causes of blindness in the Western world. The mechanisms by which HSV infection in human beings results in HSK is not well understood but studies using the mouse model has clearly indicated the role of T-cell-mediated immune response as the cause for ocular damage. We, in this article, attempt to provide an interpretive synthesis on different aspects of HSK pathogenesis, reviewing what is currently known and speculating on mysterious issues, such as, whether HSK represents a virus-induced autoimmune disease. We also discuss aspects of remission of the disease.
