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

Congenital cytomegalovirus infection is the most common congenital infection worldwide and an important cause of neurodevelopmental delay and sensorineural hearing loss. Neuroimaging represents the best prognostic marker in cCMV infection. The aim of this study was to establish the role of cranial ultrasound and brain magnetic resonance imaging in the development of long-term sequelae in symptomatic and asymptomatic children with cCMV infection. Of the 47 children enrolled in the study, 25 (53.1%) were classified as symptomatic at birth. In 27/47 patients, SNHL was diagnosed with a similar proportion among the symptomatic and asymptomatic at birth (51.8% and 48.1%, respectively;
