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

We prospectively monitored 74 consecutive allogeneic and 50 autologous patients after bone marrow/stem cell transplantation from May 1999 to October 2000 at our institution with quantitative CMV PCR and pp65 antigen assay once weekly from conditioning therapy to days 120 and 80 after transplantation, respectively. Written informed consent was obtained from every patient. CMV prophylaxis consisted of acyclovir during transplant. Additionally all patients received only platelet products from CMV-negative donors. In the case of CMV infection preemptive therapy with gancyclovir was applied. In the case of CMV disease high-dose immunoglobulin was given as well. In the allogeneic setting 16 out of 74 (22%) patients developed a positive PCR. Seven episodes of a positive pp65 antigen assay occurred in six allograft recipients. In the autologous setting no positive assay was found during the whole observation period. Additionally, in 6/16 patients a lymphoproliferative assay was performed during CMV infection. Two patients showed a positive (15 and 5.4) and four a negative (2,1.6,1,1.8) stimulation index.
