Bilateral cytomegalovirus retinitis in a healthy infant.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeTo report a case of bilateral cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in an otherwise healthy infant.
methodsA four-month-old, healthy, male infant was evaluated for visual inattention.
resultsThis full-term infant with a normal birth weight and an uneventful gestational period was referred with symptoms of visual inattention, fever, and agitation one week prior to admission. Ocular involvements were detected in the form of bilateral pan uveitis with diffuse bilateral retinitis and vasculitis with hemorrhage in the peripheral retina and posterior pole. CMV DNA was detected in the patient's ocular sample and cerebrospinal fluid by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). He was treated with intravitreal and systemic ganciclovir. Unfortunately, the infant died because of CMV encephalitis. Therefore, bilateral CMV retinitis (CMVR), which was probably transmitted from the mother, was diagnosed in this immunocompetent infant.
conclusionsThe present case highlights the possibility of CMVR in immunocompetent infant associated with systemic CMV infection, even during the postnatal period. Therefore, a high index of clinical suspicion and prompt treatment may be life-saving in similar cases.
