Review in Seminars in immunopathology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Despite the considerable clinical impact of congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, the mechanisms of maternal-fetal transmission and the resultant placental and fetal damage are largely unknown. Here, we discuss animal models for the evaluation of CMV vaccines and virus-induced pathology and particularly explore surrogate human models for HCMV transmission and pathogenesis in the maternal-fetal interface. Studies in floating and anchoring placental villi and more recently, ex vivo modeling of HCMV infection in integral human decidual tissues, provide unique insights into patterns of viral tropism, spread, and injury, defining the outcome of congenital infection, and the effect of potential antiviral interventions.
