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

Before the advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART), CMV retinitis was a common, debilitating opportunistic infection in the HIV-infected population. ART has had such a favorable impact on the prevention and management of CMV retinitis that it can be considered in some ways to be CMV therapy. Currently available CMV directed antiviral therapies are quite successful at limiting vision loss, but in resource limited settings there is still significant morbidity associated with the disease. This review summarizes the pathology, diagnosis, clinical course and treatment of retinitis in the pre-ART era to provide context for the contemporary clinical scenario, and highlights current management strategies. Important questions concerning host correlates of susceptibility and ideal therapy in the context of drug resistance are also briefly reviewed.
