Compartmentalization of a Multidrug-Resistant Cytomegalovirus UL54 Mutant in a Stem Cell Transplant Recipient with Encephalitis.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
We report a case of cytomegalovirus encephalitis in a hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient. A previously uncharacterized V787E mutation in UL54 was identified in cerebrospinal fluid but not plasma specimens. For the V787E recombinant virus, the half maximal effective concentrations for ganciclovir, foscarnet, and cidofovir were 8.6-, 3.4- and 2.9-fold higher than for wild-type virus, and the replicative capacity was lower. The introduction of a bulkier and negatively charged glutamate residue at position 787 could destabilize the finger domain of UL54 DNA polymerase. Viral genotyping of cerebrospinal fluid is warranted in subjects with cytomegalovirus encephalitis, owing to the low penetration of antivirals in this compartment.
