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) is a globally prevalent pathogen, with the gastrointestinal (GI) tract being one of the most frequently affected targets. On the other hand, the simultaneous involvement of multiple GI organs in immunocompetent individuals has rarely been reported, and CMV-induced oral ulcers are uncommon. A 70-year-old man presented to the emergency clinic with dyspnea and epigastric discomfort. He had no known conditions that could compromise his immune system and no history of immunosuppressive medication use. A physical examination revealed anemic conjunctiva, and a digital rectal examination revealed melena. GI endoscopy identified ulcers in the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, and colon, and the histopathological examination confirmed CMV positivity in each ulcer. After a 21-day course of intravenous ganciclovir, follow-up endoscopy revealed healed ulcers. This report shows that CMV can simultaneously affect the oral cavity and multiple GI organs, even in immunocompetent patients. A prompt histopathological evaluation is essential for an accurate diagnosis and timely treatment to prevent further complications.
