Seroprevalence of CMV IgG and IgM in Korean women of childbearing age.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection using the serologic status of CMV IgG and IgM antibodies in Korean women of childbearing age.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed CMV IgG and IgM test results from Korean women aged 15-49 years who underwent testing between January 2009 and December 2019. Seroprevalence of CMV IgG and IgM by year and age was investigated.
resultsThe study period was 11 years, and among 6837 samples tested, 95.8% were CMV IgG-positive. The seropositivity in women aged 15- <20 years was significantly lower (77.5%) than older age groups. Among 6837 total CMV IgG tests, 75.9% (5186) had concurrently measured CMV IgM results among which 2.4% were IgM-positive.
conclusionConsidering the low CMV seropositivity of women younger than 20 years, they may need prenatal education for CMV infection.
