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

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is asymptomatic in the majority of immunocompetent patients. However, it can cause severe presentations, particularly in patients who are immunocompromised. We are reporting a rare association between respiratory failure secondary to cavitary pneumonia and a large pericardial effusion due to CMV infection in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus. The patient presented with hypoxic respiratory failure and a large pericardial effusion at risk of tamponade. After extensive investigation, the sole pathogen identified in the patient's bronchoalveolar lavage and pericardial fluid was CMV.
