Risk of cytomegalovirus infection and subsequent allograft failure after pancreas transplantation.
Article in American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 (CMV) is a common cause of infection after transplantation, but few studies have evaluated its epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes among pancreas transplant recipients. We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults who underwent pancreas transplantation from January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2020, at 3 sites in Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota. The primary outcome was clinically significant CMV infection (csCMVi), defined as CMV disease or infection requiring antiviral therapy. The secondary outcome was pancreas allograft failure. Among 471 pancreas transplant recipients, 117 (24.8%) developed csCMVi after a median of 226 (interquartile range 154-289) days. CMV donor (D)+/R- patients had a significantly higher incidence of csCMVi (hazard ratio [HR] 4.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.10-7.64; P < .001). In adjusted analysis, a lower absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) was associated with a greater risk of csCMVi among seropositive recipients (HR 1.39 per 50% decrease, 95% CI 1.13-1.73; P = .002) but not among D+/R- patients (HR 1.04 per 50% decrease, 95% CI 0.89-1.23; P = .595). csCMVi, lower ALC, and acute rejection (P < .001) were independently associated with pancreas allograft failure. In conclusion, CMV D+/R- was associated with csCMVi in pancreas recipients, although ALC was associated with csCMVi only among seropositive patients. The development of csCMVi in pancreas recipients was associated with poor pancreas allograft outcomes.
