Primary Cytomegalovirus Pneumonia Successfully Treated with Corticosteroid Therapy and Valganciclovir.

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
Cytomegalovirus infection is typically asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals. A 26-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a fever and breathlessness. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed bilateral diffuse reticulation and nodules. Laboratory investigations showed atypical lymphocytosis and increased transaminases. She was treated with corticosteroid pulse therapy because of acute lung injury, and her clinical condition improved. Based on the presence of cytomegalovirus antibodies, antigen, and polymerase chain reaction findings, she was diagnosed with primary cytomegalovirus pneumonia and treated with valganciclovir. Primary cytomegalovirus pneumonia is very rare in immunocompetent individuals. The efficacy of corticosteroid and valganciclovir against cytomegalovirus pneumonia in this patient is noteworthy.
