Overlapping Cytomegalovirus Infection and Inflammatory Pouchitis After Liver Transplantation: When Antivirals Alone Are Insufficient.
Article in Gastro hep advances, 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
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an infrequently reported etiology of secondary pouchitis in patients who have undergone total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. We present the case of a patient with chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis, ulcerative pancolitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and orthotopic liver transplant who presented with hematochezia. Pouchoscopy showed ulcerated mucosa, and histopathology with immunohistochemistry confirmed CMV pouchitis. The patient was treated with antiviral therapy with improvement in bleeding and viremia. However, persistent refractory pouch inflammation ultimately required guselkumab. This case depicts the importance of considering CMV as a secondary etiology of pouchitis, especially in those with refractory or atypical features.
