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

Primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of congenital CMV (cCMV). Hyperimmune globulin (HIG) therapy has been proposed as a potential prophylaxis to reduce maternal-fetal transmission. Data on whether the administration of HIG every 2 weeks offers benefits over HIG administration every 4 weeks are lacking. This was a retrospective analysis including pregnant women with primary CMV infection diagnosed in the first or early second trimester between 2010 and 2022 treated with HIG every 4 weeks (300 IE HIG per kg) or every 2 weeks (200 IE HIG per kg), respectively. In total, 36 women (4 weeks:
