Occurrence of the European subgroup of subtype I BK polyomavirus in Japanese-Americans suggests transmission outside the family.
Article in Journal of virology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
To examine the mode of transmission of BK polyomavirus (BKV), urine samples were collected from Japanese-Americans in Los Angeles and from other southern Californians. Subtype I was the main subtype found in samples from both groups. The subtype I subgroup Ib-2, which is predominant in Europe, was the primary subgroup detected in second-generation Japanese-Americans and in southern Californians; however, the Ic subgroup prevalent in native Japanese was rare in these populations. Since the European subgroup (Ib-2) predominated in the studied geographic area, the findings demonstrate that transmission outside the family is common in the spread of BKV, unlike previous findings for JC polyomavirus.
