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

backgroundCongenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is the most frequent infective cause of morbidity and long-term sequelae in infancy. Despite great attention to this clinical condition, potential prognostic factors for neurodevelopmental sequelae in cCMV patients are poorly understood, therefore hampering optimization of clinical care and management of cCMV patients.

methodsA retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on 66 infants with congenital CMV infection in order to identify among clinical presentation at birth potential predictors of the absence of neurodevelopmental sequelae at 12 months of age. A logistic regression model was built in order to identify a correlation between potential predictors and neurodevelopmental status at one year of age in the cohort in the study.

resultsThe results of our study showed a significant correlation between normal neutrophil count and normal audiological assessment at birth in a logistic regression model (

conclusionsOur findings underscore the need for appropriate assessment at birth in order to improve clinical management of cCMV patients.
