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

BK virus (BKV) is a human polyomavirus that remains latent in the urinary tract epithelium in most individuals. However, in immunocompromised states, including after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), BKV may reactivate and cause infection predominantly affecting the bladder, commonly manifested as hemorrhagic cystitis. Renal insufficiency, occasionally requiring hemodialysis, is not uncommon and was previously attributed to medications or the development of tubulointestitial nephritis. We report a series of 6 HSCT recipients who developed obstructive uropathy of the upper urinary tract system secondary to inflammation and hemorrhage involving the upper uroepithelium, causing ureteral stenosis. Temporary placement of a percutaneous nephrostomy catheter relieved the obstruction and significantly improved kidney function, successfully preventing progression to more advanced renal disease in these patients.
