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

Objectives: Congenital Cytomegalovirus Materials & Methods: Neonates with cCMV infection admitted to neonatal intensive care units and neonates with CMV infection identified in two other prospective screening studies in Tehran, Iran, were enrolled in this study. Audiological assessments, including otoacoustic emission and auditory brainstem response tests, were performed for all the cases. Antiviral therapy was administered for the newborns in case of having severe symptoms. Results: A total of 22 neonates with cCMV infection were entered into the study, of whom 8 and 14 subjects had symptomatic and asymptomatic cCMV infection, respectively. In total, 3 of 22 newborns had SNHL (13.6%; 95% CI: 2.8-39.8), 2 of 8 cases with symptomatic cCMV infection (25.0%; 95% CI: 3-90) and 1 of 14 cases with asymptomatic cCMV infection (7.1%; 95% CI: 0.1-39). No association was observed between SNHL and CMV-related risk factors in newborns. Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed that the rate of cCMV-induced SNHL is high among neonates born in Tehran. The severe sequelae of cCMV infection indicate the need for screening for CMV infection at birth to reduce the risk of CMV complications and the financial load of treatment imposed on healthcare and treatment systems in Iran.
