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

In immunocompetent individuals, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection can range from asymptomatic to infectious mononucleosis syndrome and can cause hemolysis. However, in immunocompromised individuals, the presentation may be complicated with various life-threatening complications. CMV-associated thrombosis is commonly reported in patients who are immunocompromised, especially in transplant recipients and in HIV-positive patients. We present a case of a previously healthy 29-year-old male patient who suffered a splenic infarction. He presented with high temperature, general malaise, and left-sided abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with CMV and Epstein-Barr virus concomitant infection. Serological studies confirmed an acute CMV infection superimposed on a chronic EBV infection.
