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

Non-specific interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISpot) responses after solid organ transplant (SOT) and their relationship with cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation have hardly been investigated. Adult kidney transplant (KT) recipients underwent measurement of IFN-γ-producing T cells using the ELISpot assay before and 1 month after transplantation. Data for CMV infection episodes were collected. Risk factors for post-transplant CMV infection, based on IFN-γ responses, were analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards model. A total of 93 KT recipients were enrolled in the study and 84 evaluable participants remained at 1 month post KT. Thirty-three (39%) recipients developed subsequent CMV infection within 6 months post-transplant. At 1-month post-transplant, IFN-γ-producing T cells with <250 spot-forming units (SFUs)/2.5 × 10
