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

backgroundInternational Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) coding for cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been used as a proxy for active CMV infection or disease occurring in the inpatient setting in retrospective studies of kidney transplant recipients using large amounts of administrative data. However, the accuracy of inpatient CMV coding has not been determined.

methodsWe identified 393 kidney transplant recipients who were readmitted to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2011 to determine the accuracy of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for CMV (078.5) in identifying active CMV infection or disease (asymptomatic viremia, CMV syndrome, or tissue-invasive CMV disease) in the inpatient setting, using microbiological, histopathologic, or ophthalmologic evidence for CMV as the gold standard.

resultsThe sensitivity and positive predictive value of CMV coding in identifying active CMV infection or disease were 0.77 and 0.71, respectively. The specificity and negative predictive value were both 0.98. The sensitivity of CMV coding in identifying CMV syndrome or tissue-invasive CMV disease was 0.93.

conclusionsCMV coding had good accuracy in identifying active CMV infection or disease among readmitted kidney transplant recipients in our hospital. Further validation studies of CMV coding in other hospitals are needed to obtain more generalizable estimates of the accuracy of CMV coding.
