Seroprevalent study of cytomegalovirus infection in the regions of Jharkhand.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a type of beta herpesvirus widespread in all human populations. It is estimated that up to 80-100% of adults worldwide and most infections are harmless and can cause severe health complications in infants, like hearing loss and developmental issues. Still, immunocompromised individuals can experience serious complications from the virus. Unfortunately, there is limited information on the prevalence of this virus in our country, and no studies have been reported on the rate of CMV transmission yet. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the levels of IgM antibodies against Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum, and Seraikela Kharsawan using an ELISA test. Methods: An indirect ELISA test was performed to detect anti-CMV IgM and the period of study was from January'2021 to June'2023. Results: The examination tested 55 people for the TORCH profile of CMV parameters from regions of East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum, and Seraikela Kharsawan. Here, 17 people (30.09%) were IgM positive by ELISA. Conclusions: The serological data confirms that CMV is not being monitored and recognized in the general population, which limits our study between CMV infection, disease, and clinically diagnosed outcomes. This understanding is crucial for the healthcare and policy sectors. Thus, we recommend implementing a surveillance and mindfulness program for at least one-fourth of the population in Jharkhand and continuing to explore and develop effective vaccines to control CMV infections.
