Severe CMV pneumonitis and the resulting ARDS in a 28-year-old pregnant woman: a case report.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus. In pregnant women, CMV infection is usually mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic but can lead to fetal infection. Here we present a rare case of severe CMV pneumonitis and acute respiratory distress syndrome in a healthy immunocompetent pregnant woman. CASE PRESENTATION: A previous healthy 28-year-old woman with spontaneous conception, was admitted to the General University Hospital of Patras at 29 weeks of gestation with a day history of fever, fatigue, pharyngitis, and cough. She was diagnosed with acute CMV infection and CMV pneumonitis. During her hospitalization she developed acute distress syndrome (ARDS). The patient was intubated and underwent emergency caesarean delivery. She was admitted to the intensive care unit and received intravenous ganciclovir. She was discharged at 20th day postpartum in a good clinical condition.
conclusionsThis case highlights the infrequent yet potential complexity of CMV infection in immunocompetent patients and in pregnancy.
