Transplacental Transmission of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in Pregnant Women with Positive Anti-CMV IgG and Negative Anti-CMV IgM in Highly CMV Seropositive Region.
Article in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Primary or recurrent infection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in pregnant women may cause transplacental transmission to fetuses. We aimed to investigate the rate of transplacental CMV transmission in women with positive anti-CMV IgG and negative anti-CMV IgM and its impact on newborns. Pregnant women with positive anti-CMV IgG and negative anti-CMV IgM during the first or second trimester who delivered by Cesarean section were included. Amniotic fluid collected during the Cesarean section was tested for CMV DNA with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. CMV IgG and IgM were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A total of 695 pregnant women were enrolled between April 2019 and February 2023. Of them, 567 (81.6%) were single pregnancies and 128 (18.4%) were twin pregnancies, and 594 (85.5%) were full-term pregnancies and 101 (14.5%) were premature pregnancies. Of the 823 newborns, 7 (0.9%) were CMV DNA positive in amniotic fluid, demonstrating the transplacental CMV transmission. One of these seven neonates was diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction at gestation week 25
