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) is one of the most frequent microbes linked with kidney transplant recipients. CMV infection is typically classified as CMV virus isolation in any body fluid or specimen. We present a 43-year-old man who underwent a deceased donor kidney transplant with CMV donor-seronegative and recipient-seronegative (CMV D-/R-) status and completed three months of CMV prophylaxis with high-dose acyclovir given his low-risk status. He was admitted for complaints of profuse watery diarrhea and persistent fevers lasting one week in duration. His infectious workup led to a CMV quantitative nucleic acid amplification test (QNAT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of 239,977 IU/mL with a biopsy-proven diagnosis of invasive CMV colitis. He was treated inpatient with intravenous ganciclovir for two weeks and then de-escalated to oral valganciclovir until achieving viremia resolution with undetectable CMV QNAT PCR as an outpatient. This case illustrates the importance of the changing epidemiology and clinical presentation of CMV disease in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients in an era of new immunosuppression regimens and improved CMV disease detection in the early post-transplant period.
