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

The association between varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation and coronary artery disease (CAD) remains uncertain. We enrolled 107 patients (mean age 66.5±10.8 years; 72% male) who underwent coronary angiography due to suspected CAD and assessed subclinical VZV reactivation via salivary VZV PCR. Patients were divided into three groups: acute coronary syndrome, chronic coronary syndrome, and insignificant CAD. VZV DNA was detected in three patients (3%) -one in the acute group and two in the chronic group (
