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

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a major infectious complication after solid-organ transplantation, driven by immunosuppressive therapies that alter CMV-specific cell-mediated immunity. Antithymocyte globulin induces profound and prolonged T-cell depletion, transiently impairing CMV-specific cell-mediated immunity and increasing CMV risk in seropositive recipients. Calcineurin inhibitors suppress cytokine production, notably IL-2 and IFN-γ, without significantly impairing cytotoxic function, while mycophenolate mofetil limits lymphocyte proliferation but preserves effector capacity. In contrast, mTOR inhibitors exert dual antiviral and immunomodulatory effects by directly inhibiting CMV replication and enhancing CMV-specific T-cell memory formation. Belatacept, through CD28-CD80/CD86 blockade, may predispose to late, severe, or relapsing CMV disease, particularly in elderly or D
