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

We present the first published case of simultaneous pneumonitis and immune thrombocytopenic purpura secondary to primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in an immunocompetent patient. Treatment with oral valganciclovir for 2 weeks successfully led to complete clinical recovery. CMV is traditionally associated with infection in immunocompromised patients and neonates; however, evidence of severe CMV infections in immunocompetent hosts is emerging. It is important to highlight the broad range of clinical presentations of CMV infections to prevent diagnostic delay and associated morbidity and expense.
