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

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in liver transplant patients with donor-seronegative and recipient-seronegative (D-/R-) status is a rarity. Ganciclovir-resistant CMV disease in this population has not been reported in the literature. We present a 62-year-old man who underwent orthotopic liver transplant from a cadaveric donor. The patient's status was CMV D-/R-, and he had completed 90 days of valganciclovir therapy for CMV prophylaxis, yet he developed CMV disease. We highlight the danger of the liberal use of CMV prophylaxis in this subset of the liver transplant population. To our knowledge, this is the first report of ganciclovir-resistant (GanR) CMV disease in a liver transplant patient with CMV D-/R- status.
