Small intestinal perforation caused by cytomegalovirus reactivation after subtotal colectomy for ulcerative colitis: report of a case.

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.
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
A 79-year-old woman with bloody diarrhea was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. She developed intestinal perforation after high-dose steroid therapy. An emergency laparotomy revealed a perforation in the ascending colon, and a subtotal colectomy was performed with an ileostomy and a mucous fistula in the sigmoid colon. Histological findings of the resected colon showed the presence of cytomegalovirus in the endothelial cells of vessels around the ulcer floor. Twelve days after the laparotomy, she developed an ileal perforation with a bloody discharge from the ileostomy and underwent an emergency laparotomy. Multiple intestinal perforations were found in the ileum, and the perforated ileum was resected. Cytomegalovirus infection was controlled with ganciclovir postoperatively. Histological findings of the resected ileum showed the presence of cytomegalovirus in the endothelial cells of vessels around the ulcer floor. This is the first report of ileal perforation due to cytomegalovirus infection confirmed pathologically in a patient with ulcerative colitis.
