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) is a global virus with a high prevalence that usually manifests in immunocompromised patients, with significant morbidity and mortality. Though fairly common in immunocompetent patients admitted in the intensive care units, the infection is usually subclinical. Healthy individuals either have a subclinical course or exhibit a mild mononucleosis-like syndrome. Due to this, little attention has been given to morbidity and mortality that CMV infection may lead to in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of a 55-year-old immunocompetent female with no significant history who was admitted to our medical service with pericarditis, complicated by a right pulmonary embolism. Infectious workup revealed CMV as the cause for the presenting symptoms.
