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

Human cytomegalovirus infection usually proceeds asymptomatically in immunocompetent patients. In symptomatic forms, mononucleosis syndrome is the most common manifestation. However, atypical cases of cytomegalovirus infections in immunocompetent subjects are reported in the literature. Here, we describe a case of cytomegalovirus-related mononucleosis syndrome that presented with an atypical erythema multiforme-like skin rash and high fever. Very few cases have been described in the literature previously. In our case, the diagnosis was supported by specific serology, and human cytomegalovirus DNA was detected in the blood sample. The clinical picture resolved without the administration of antiviral therapy.
