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 preemptive strategy has successfully decreased cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, some recipients still develop CMV gastroenteritis, especially after acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), and its incidence, risk factors, and prognostic impact remain to be elucidated. We retrospectively analyzed 3759 consecutive adult patients who developed grade II-IV aGVHD using a Japanese registry database. The cumulative incidence of CMV gastroenteritis was 5.7% by day 365 from the development of grade II-IV aGVHD. Advanced age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.60; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-2.22; P = .004), GVHD prophylaxis with mycophenolate mofetil and calcineurin inhibitor (HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.08-2.77; P = .024), lower-gut aGVHD (HR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.58-2.98; P < .001), and the use of systemic steroids (HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.16-2.74; P = .008) were independent risk factors for CMV gastroenteritis. Development of CMV gastroenteritis was associated with an increased risk of nonrelapse mortality (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.50-2.39; P < .001). Moreover, letermovir prophylaxis significantly reduced both the incidence of CMV gastroenteritis (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.25-0.99; P = .047) and the risk of nonrelapse mortality (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.52-0.99; P = .043). In summary, CMV gastroenteritis is a life-threatening complication that sets the need for preventive strategies with letermovir and targeted surveillance.
