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

backgroundCytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is a potentially severe complication in immunocompromised patients, yet its incidence and impact in recipients of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) remain insufficiently documented.

aimTo assess the frequency, timing, and outcomes of CMV reactivation in patients undergoing AHSCT at Aziza Othmana Hospital.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective descriptive study of all patients who underwent AHSCT between January 2022 and December 2024 and had at least one post-transplant plasma viral load (VL) assessment. CMV VL was quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction using TaqMan probes (GeneProof

resultsAmong 277 AHSCT recipients, 17 (6.1%) experienced CMV reactivation. Their median age was 43 years, with a sex ratio of 0.46 (male/female). Underlying diseases included large B-cell lymphoma (

conclusionCMV reactivation occurs in a noteworthy proportion of AHSCT recipients and may lead to severe outcomes. Routine VL monitoring in the early post-transplant period is crucial, and preemptive therapy should be initiated once clinically relevant VL thresholds are reached to prevent progression to CMV disease and associated mortality.
