Cytomegalovirus enteritis as an unusual cause of small bowel obstruction in an immunocompetent woman: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
A 57-year-old woman without comorbidities presented with severe abdominal pain, hematemesis, and melena. Contrast enhanced computed tomography demonstrated small bowel obstruction with two transition points in the proximal jejunum. Endoscopy revealed a circumferential jejunal ulcer larger than 5 cm with loss of vascular pattern, induration, whitish exudate, and contact bleeding. Segmental resection with side-to-side anastomosis was performed. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed cytomegalovirus infection. Intravenous ganciclovir was administered for 7 days, with a favorable clinical course and discharge in good condition. Cytomegalovirus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction even in the absence of immunosuppression. Early histologic confirmation and individualized treatment combining surgery and antiviral therapy are associated with favorable outcomes.
