Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus Discovered During Pain Consult Possibly Complicated With Dural Sinus Thrombosis and Refractory Headache Managed With Ketamine: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Pain is a common symptom associated with shingles and may precede the onset of the characteristic rash. In the context of herpes zoster ophthalmicus, pain can manifest with severe headaches, posing challenges due to other potentially life-threatening conditions such as stroke and intracranial hypertension. In this report, we present the case of a 51-year-old male with severe headache and imaging findings of dural sinus thrombosis. He was later diagnosed with herpes zoster ophthalmicus and required aggressive inpatient management of neuropathic pain. Despite appropriate treatment, acute herpes zoster can progress to post-herpetic neuralgia, requiring long-term pain management.
