Ascites and Enterocolitis in a Preterm Infant with Acquired CMV Infection: A Case Study and Review of the Literature.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
Postnatal cytomegalovirus (pCMV) infection is typically asymptomatic in term infants but poses significant risks to very preterm and very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. The primary mode of transmission of pCMV is breast milk from seropositive mothers. Here, we present the case of a 29-week preterm female who contracted pCMV and began to manifest symptoms at day of life (DOL) 50. She developed respiratory compromise, massive ascites, and was extremely ill. The patient was managed with ganciclovir (GCV), intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), and percutaneous drainage of the ascites. She gradually improved and was discharged after a 5-month neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay. After presenting the case, we review the clinical manifestations of pCMV, and particularly its less well-recognized gastrointestinal manifestations, including ascites. We then outline guidelines for treatment and prevention. Clinicians should consider pCMV in VLBW and extremely premature infants presenting with thrombocytopenia, colitis, or ascites, especially in the second and third months of life.
