Native kidney BK virus nephropathy associated with acute lymphocytic leukemia.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPolyoma BK virus nephropathy is a common complication after renal transplantation and is rarely seen in non-renal transplant recipients. There are only a couple of case reports of BK virus nephropathy in native kidneys in non-transplant patients, including a recent report of a 73-year-old patient with chronic lymphatic leukemia. A variety of treatment options, including leflunomide and cidofovir, were reported in these patients. CASE DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: Here we report the case of a 10-year-old boy with acute lymphatic leukemia who presented with non-oliguric hypertensive acute kidney injury at the 12th maintenance cycle of his chemotherapy. The workup supported the clear diagnosis of BK virus nephropathy with tubulointerstitial changes, and the patient responded favorably to intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.
conclusionsPediatric nephrologists need to consider BK virus nephropathy as a differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury in immunocompromised non-transplant patients.
