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

backgroundOur objective was to evaluate the prevalence and different diagnostic methods of breastmilk (BM)-acquired cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in a pathologically jaundiced cohort.

methodsA total of 400 infants confirmed with pathological jaundice at The People's Hospital of Qingyang City were screened for BM-acquired CMV infection between February 2018 and February 2019. A total of 300 infants were finally enrolled in our study. CMV infection was confirmed by detecting both CMV-DNA in various samples using FQ-PCR and CMV-IgM with chemiluminescence. Clinical and other laboratory data were collected from these infants during their hospitalization or regular visits.

resultsNinety-eight (32.67%) subjects were confirmed to be BM CMV-DNA-positive, and 18 (18.37%) were diagnosed with a BM-acquired CMV infection. All 18 (100%) infants with a BM-acquired CMV infection were CMV-DNA-positive in urine, while 5 (27.78%) cases and 11 (61.11%) cases were confirmed in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), respectively. Only 6 (33.33%) infants were CMV-IgM-positive. Birthweight, direct bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, and the viral load in BM of the BM-acquired CMV group were higher than those in the non-infected group (P < .05). Low birthweight and viral load in BM were risk factors for BM-acquired CMV infection. Detecting CMV-DNA in urine samples exhibited better performance than the other methods for screening BM-acquired CMV infections.

conclusionsOur study found a high prevalence of BM-acquired CMV infection in jaundiced infants, and detecting CMV-DNA in a urine sample was the most sensitive method for disease screening.
