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

A 37-year-old woman with a history of inflammatory bowel disease on mercaptopurine presented with a week of recurrent fever, headache, myalgias and mildly elevated serum transaminases and leucopenia. Her workup revealed primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection with atypical lymphocytosis, elevated viral load, positive IgM and negative IgG. Two weeks after her initial presentation, she developed odynophagia and diarrhoea prompting endoscopic evaluation with biopsies, which demonstrated CMV disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Her fever and systemic symptoms improved rapidly with initiation of intravenous ganciclovir. She was transitioned to and maintained on oral valganciclovir until two and half months after discharge when her symptoms and lab abnormalities had fully subsided.
