Severe Bleeding due to Cytomegalovirus Esophagitis in a Patient with Diabetes after Interbody Fusion Surgery.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 49-year-old man with diabetes taking clopidogrel and celecoxib underwent interbody fusion surgery for spinal spondylolysis. Ten days after the surgery, he vomited a large amount of fresh blood. A blood examination revealed hemodynamic failure. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed an adherent blood clot and multiple superficial ulcers in the esophagus. Endoscopic hemostasis was successfully achieved. Biopsy specimens from the esophageal ulcer showed positive immunohistochemical staining results for anti-CMV antibodies. The esophageal ulcer improved after the oral administration of ganciclovir. This case emphasizes that CMV esophagitis with bleeding can occur in a diabetic patient with a poor nutritional status due to relative immune dysfunction.
