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.
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
The present study aims to provide the sequential immunological, clinical and virological events occurring in a CMV-infected pregnant woman experiencing intrauterine CMV transmission. In brief, a case of primary CMV infection occurred in a 36-year-old pregnant woman. The patient exhibited early-sustained viremia and viruria, detectable presence of CMV in saliva concomitant with a strong CMV-specific cell-mediated response (427 EliSpots). CMV was detected in the amniotic fluid at 15 weeks of pregnancy (>1 × 106 CMV copies/mL). The pregnancy was deliberately interrupted at 16 weeks of gestation. Fetal histological and pathological examinations revealed placentitis and fetal brain alterations as microcephaly and cortical dysplasia. Interestingly, this clinical report shows: (1) there was a rapid and sustained CMV-specific cell mediated immune response (Th1) in association with low IgG avidity (Th2) correlated with fetal CMV transmission. (2) The levels of CMV-specific cell-mediated immune response persisted at high levels up to 200 weeks after infection despite clinical and viral clearance. (3) The histological and pathological evidence suggests that a potent pro-inflammatory condition at the placental level may lead to cCMV.
