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

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes significant morbidity and mortality following kidney transplantation. Late CMV infection (≥2 years post-transplant) is uncommon, and its risk factors and outcomes may differ from earlier infection. Methods: We conducted a single-centre retrospective study of kidney transplant recipients between 2009 and 2019. Patients were grouped by CMV status: no infection, early infection (<2 years post-transplant), and late infection (≥2 years post-transplant). Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared. Results: Donor-positive/recipient-negative (D+/R-) serostatus was observed in 105/710 (14.8%) patients without CMV, 28/42 (66.7%) with early CMV, and 2/28 (7.1%) with late CMV ( Conclusions: Risk factors for CMV infection differ by timing post-transplant. Renal dysfunction may be a key predictor of late infection. identifying at-risk patients may support targeted surveillance and improve long-term outcomes.
