Earlier and higher rates of cytomegalovirus infection in pediatric liver transplant recipients as compared to adults: An observational study.
Article in Journal of laboratory physicians. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimTo study and compare the incidence and time of occurrence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in the posttransplant period in adult and pediatric liver transplant recipients. MATERIALS AND
methodsConsecutive live donor liver transplant recipients not on CMV prophylaxis, were prospectively enrolled from March 2012 to September 2015 and followed up for 1 year post transplant to look for CMV infection. For analysis, patients were divided into pediatric (up to 18 years) and adult (>18 years) age groups.
resultsThe study population of 146 patients consisted of 132 adult and 14 pediatric patients. Overall CMV infection posttransplant was seen in 54/146 (36.98%) patients, and 16/54 (29.6%) patients developed CMV disease. Post-transplant CMV infection rate was significantly higher in pediatric patients(10/14 [71.4%]) as compared to adults (44/132 [33.4%]) (
conclusionsThe results of this study show a clear difference in the incidence and timeline of posttransplant CMV infection in pediatric patients as compared to adults.
