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 can have both direct and indirect effects after solid-organ transplantation, with a significant impact on transplant outcomes. Prevention strategies decrease the risk of CMV disease, although CMV still occurs in up to 50% of high-risk patients. Ganciclovir (GCV) and valganciclovir (VGCV) are the main drugs currently used for preventing and treating CMV. Emerging data suggest that letermovir is as effective as VGCV with fewer hematological side effects. Refractory and resistant CMV also still occur in solid-organ-transplant patients. Maribavir has been shown to be effective and have less toxicity in the treatment of refractory and resistant CMV. In this review paper, we discuss prevention strategies, refractory and resistant CMV, and drug-related side effects and their impact, as well as optimal use of novel anti-CMV therapies.
