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) infection remains a critical cause of mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), despite improvement by pre-emptive antivirus treatment. CMV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CMV-CTL) are universally used and proven well-tolerance after allo-HSCT in adult clinical trials. However, it is not comprehensively evaluated in children's patients. Herein, we conducted a retrospective study to determine the risk factors of CMV infection and evaluation of CMV-CTL in children patients who underwent allo-HSCT. As result, a significantly poor 5-year overall survival was found in the CMV infection group (87.3 vs. 94.6%, p=0.01). Haploidentical HSCT (haplo-HSCT) was identified as an independent risk factor for CMV infection through both univariate and multivariate analyses (p<0.001, p=0.027, respectively). Furthermore, the cumulative incidence of CMV infection was statistically higher in the haplo-HSCT group compared to the HLA-matched donor group (44.2% vs. 21.6%, p<0.001). Finally, the overall response rate of CMV-CTL was 89.7% (26/29 patients) in CMV infection after allo-HSCT. We concluded that CMV infection following allo-HSCT correlated with increased mortality in children's patients, and haplo-HSCT was an independent risk factor for CMV infection. Adoptive CMV-CTL cell therapy was safe and effective in pediatric patients with CMV infection.
