Varicella Zoster Virus Vasculopathy Leading to a Recurrent Cerebral Infarction: Differential Treatment Responses Between Stenosis and Occlusion.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. 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
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection can cause vasculopathy and stroke; however, the response of VZV-induced vasculopathy to treatment is still not well understood. We herein report the case of a 41-year-old man with a recurrent cerebral infarction following herpes zoster infection. The patient presented with a visual field disturbance and a history of myelodysplastic syndrome and chronic kidney disease. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple vascular stenoses and occlusions. Despite initial antiviral and steroid therapy, his condition worsened and he required additional treatment. Vessel stenosis responded well to treatment, whereas occlusion did not. An early diagnosis and prompt treatment of VZV-induced vasculopathy are crucial for preventing irreversible vascular damage.
