Cytomegalovirus Retinitis Complicated With Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment in a Non-HIV Patient With Pure Red Cell Aplasia.
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
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Herpesviridae family. It can cause CMV retinitis, an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. This is a sight-threatening condition that can be further complicated by rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). In this case report, we described a 57-year-old gentleman with underlying pure red cell aplasia on ciclosporin who presented with blurred vision in both eyes. The retinal findings showed frosted branch angiitis, granular appearance, and scattered retinal hemorrhages. Confirmation of CMV retinitis was done using polymerase chain reaction of the vitreous sample and CMV serum serology. The patient was treated with intravenous ganciclovir and intravitreal ganciclovir in the right eye. He developed CMV-related RRD in the left eye, for which he underwent retinal detachment surgery with a good anatomical outcome, but developed a significant cataract. Early recognition and treatment of CMV retinitis can improve visual outcomes. Physicians and patients on any form of immunosuppression should be familiar with the symptoms of CMV retinitis and retinal detachment.
