Real-World Comparison of Maribavir to Foscarnet for the Treatment of Cytomegalovirus in Solid Organ and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.
Article in Viruses, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients may increase the risk of rejection or allograft dysfunction, other infection(s), and morbidity and mortality. Treatment can be challenging due to medication-associated toxicities. Maribavir (MBV) is a promising option for the treatment of resistant or refractory (R/R) CMV infection in lieu of foscarnet (FOS), which has long been the recommended therapy for (val)ganciclovir-resistant infection. This was a single-center retrospective study of clinical outcomes of patients who received MBV compared to a control group who received FOS for an episode of CMV infection. Each cohort consisted of 27 episodes of CMV infection. Twenty patients in the MBV cohort and from the FOS cohort cleared the infection, with five and three patients developing MBV or FOS resistance, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in failure of therapy as evidenced by persistent DNAemia (
