Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection in Pregnancy Resulting in Neonatal Mortality Due to Congenital CMV: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is a major cause of neonatal morbidity that can be easily overlooked, as only a few cases are symptomatic, leading to severe complications such as hearing loss, developmental delays, and brain damage. It is one of the most common congenital infections. A 37-year-old woman with a high-risk pregnancy, including preeclampsia and type 2 diabetes, presented at 30+2 weeks gestation with abdominal pain and reduced fetal movements. Ultrasound revealed intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and abnormal Doppler findings, prompting an emergency cesarean section. The newborn, weighing 1100g, showed signs of CMV infection, including jaundice and hepatosplenomegaly, which was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. Despite antiviral treatment, the infant's condition deteriorated with progressive neurological issues, such as intracranial hemorrhage and hydrocephalus, ultimately leading to death on day 39. This case highlights the severe consequences of undiagnosed CMV infection in high-risk pregnancies. It emphasizes the importance of early intervention and routine screening for maternal CMV infection in such cases.
