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) is a highly prevalent pathogen that remains dormant in majority of the cases. Severe CMV infection is generally limited to immunocompromised hosts. While occasional cases of CMV hepatitis are observed in healthy immunocompetent hosts, it is very rare to find this associated with focal liver lesions mimicking malignancy. Cases of non-immunosuppressed CMV reactivation, CMV-associated liver lesions, and CMV-associated portal vein thrombosis have all been reported individually, we present a single case of CMV with all of these rare manifestations.
