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 compared a CMV virus load determined by real-time PCR with an antigenemia value to analyze the correlation between these two methods. We also compared the values for virus load determined by the two distinct real-time PCR methods, which amplify the US17 region and immediate-early (IE) gene of CMV, respectively, to evaluate the reliability of these methods. Two hundred and sixty-five samples were obtained weekly from 29 patients, who had engraftment after unrelated bone marrow transplantation or HLA-mismatched related blood stem cell transplantation. CMV infection was detected in 115 samples from 22 patients by US17-PCR and 69 samples from 20 patients by the antigenemia assay. Fifty-eight samples were positive for both assays, but 57 and 11 samples were positive only for US17-PCR and antigenemia, respectively. A good correlation of the results of US17-PCR and antigenemia was demonstrated (r = 0.61). All antigenemia-positive samples and randomly selected antigenemia-negative samples were subjected to IE-PCR. The results of IE-PCR showed a good correlation with those of antigenemia (r = 0.64). Furthermore, the best correlation was observed between US17-PCR and IE-PCR (r = 0.83). In conclusion, both real-time PCR methods showed a good correlation with the antigenemia assay, and could be used to monitor CMV infection after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
