Presumed cytomegalovirus retinitis in a non-immune compromised patient with breast carcinoma during treatment: A case report.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeCytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is one of the most common opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, including patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). CMV retinitis in non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients has been reported with variable presentations. Significant intraocular inflammation is common, and visual prognosis is poor if not properly managed. OBSERVATIONS: We present a case of presumed CMV retinitis in a non-immunocompromised breast cancer patient that occurred during cancer treatment. The ocular symptoms developed one day after partial mastectomy with intra-operative radiotherapy following five months of chemotherapy treatment. Ocular manifestations included panuveitis with mild peripheral retinitis. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Early diagnosis and prompt treatment with oral valganciclovir based on the clinical manifestation and serologic test findings helped to preserve vision.
