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

Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous virus with a global prevalence of 90%, but infection typically has minimal clinical impact in immunocompetent individuals. Consequently, most people are neither tested nor treated for HCMV. However, HCMV seropositivity is associated with higher hospitalization rates following SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to seronegative individuals, suggesting that viral reactivation may exacerbate severity of clinical symptoms. To investigate this, rhesus macaques naturally infected with rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) were experimentally inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 and monitored. Following inoculation, RhCMV viral loads in plasma increased from baseline, indicating reactivation. Within tissues, the lungs and ileum expressed immediate early protein-1 (IE1), a marker of active RhCMV infection. Additionally, elevated frequencies of circulating activated CD69
