Small bowel perforation secondary to CMV-positive terminal ileitis postrenal transplant.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection of the gastrointestinal tract is common in immunosuppressed patients; however, small bowel perforation from tissue-invasive CMV disease after many years of immunosuppressive therapy is a rare complication requiring timely medical and surgical intervention. We report a case of a postrenal transplant patient who presented to the emergency department with severe lower abdominal pain with CT of the abdomen/pelvis revealing a small bowel perforation. He underwent an emergent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, and his histopathology of the terminal ileum was positive for CMV disease. He was successfully treated with intravenous ganciclovir postoperatively. We discuss the pathophysiology, histopathological features and treatment of CMV infection.
