Audiologic Status of Children with Confirmed Cytomegalovirus Infection: a Case Series.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundCongenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common non-genetic cause of sensorineural hearing loss (SHNL) in children. Only about 10% to 15% of children with congenital CMV are symptomatic, and most are not diagnosed at birth. About 7% to 15% of clinically asymptomatic patients may develop later complications, including SNHL, which is the most common sequela in clinically asymptomatic patients. In this study, hearing status was investigated in children with confirmed CMV infection and neonatal hearing screening (NHS) histories were reviewed to explore hearing loss caused by CMV.
methodsThe medical records of 58 children who were diagnosed with confirmed CMV infection were reviewed for clinical symptoms and signs of CMV infection. Hearing status was evaluated with age-appropriate audiological test batteries.
resultsA total of 58 children (M:F = 32:26 patients; age at study: mean, 5.62 years, range, 1-10 years) were diagnosed serologically with CMV infection (14 patients, 21.1%), or diagnosed via PCR of serum (5, 7.9%) and/or PCR from urine (19, 26.8%). Hearing loss was confirmed in 11 children (19.0%), being bilateral in 6 (54.5%), and unilateral in 5 (45.5%). Note that 7 of 17 ears with hearing loss passed NHS and were diagnosed only after re-evaluation when CMV infection was identified.
conclusionHearing loss is a serious complication of CMV infection in children. Our results highlight the importance of timely audiological evaluation in children with clinically symptomatic CMV infection even if they pass NHS.
