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 previously well and immunocompetent 64-year-old woman presented with fever of unknown origin and acute hepatitis. Besides headache and nausea, she had no other symptoms. Her clinical examination was unremarkable with no clear focus of infection. She was thoroughly investigated and her biochemical profile suggested a viral or autoimmune aetiology. Multiple imaging modalities gave no further insight. Her serology and subsequent nucleic acid amplification indicated reactivation of latent cytomegalovirus (CMV). Her symptoms resolved with supportive care and no anti-viral therapy was needed. This case report highlights CMV reactivation leading to acute hepatitis in a well, immunocompetent patient.
