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

Severe life-threatening thromboembolism may be caused exclusively by the presence of an acute CMV infection or due to the association of this agent and other thrombogenic factors. We report a case of an immunocompetent young female patient who presented a pulmonary embolism associated with acute CMV infection. The patient did not have any other apparent cause of thrombosis. She was successfully treated with rivaroxaban for 6 months without further episodes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a pulmonary embolism associated with CMV treated with a direct oral anticoagulant. The current case report calls attention to the importance of signs and symptoms of thromboembolism among patients with CMV. Direct oral anticoagulants can potentially bring the same benefits to treat pulmonary embolism associated with CMV as those observed in patients not infected.
