Two Cases of Cytomegalovirus Colitis During the Treatment of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated Colitis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Herein, we outlined two case reports of patients who developed cytomegalovirus colitis following the initiation of corticosteroid therapy for colitis as a result of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). For both patients, endoscopic findings were similar to those observed for patients with irAE colitis but were devoid of the characteristic features associated with cytomegalovirus colitis, including punched-out ulcers. Given the therapeutic disparities between these two conditions, it is imperative to distinguish between these conditions in clinical practice. When addressing exacerbations or refractory manifestations of irAE-associated colitis, clinicians should remain vigilant with regard to the potential for cytomegalovirus infection, even in the absence of punched-out ulcers in the colorectum.
