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

Infections in immunosuppressed patients represent a particular challenge in the diagnostics and treatment. They often present with atypical and particularly severe courses, for which rapid diagnostics and treatment are decisive for treatment success. Opportunistic infections with human herpes viruses occur not only more frequently in immunocompromised patients compared to healthy people but also represent a special challenge. In the treatment of immunosuppressed patients, e.g. with human immunodeficiency virus infections and patients with solid organ transplantations, infections with herpes simplex virus, varicella zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus are particularly important. The symtoms are very variable, ranging from asymptomatic detection of viremia to vital life-threatening organ manifestations. This review article describes the most important clinical presentations of these opportunistic infections. Furthermore, the diagnostic, therapeutic and prophylactic strategies for human herpes viruses are summarized.
