Transplantation in the tropics: lessons on prevention and management of tropical infectious diseases.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Tropical infectious diseases (IDs) remain a rare complication in transplant recipients even in tropical settings, but this topic has become increasingly important during the last decade due to multiple factors. Interestingly, non-tropical countries report most of the experiences with tropical diseases. The reported experience from non-endemic regions, however, does not always reflect the experience of endemic areas. Most of the guidelines and recommendations in the literature may not be applicable in tropical settings due to logistical difficulties, cost, and lack of proven benefit. In addition, certain post-transplant prevention measures, as prophylaxis and reducing exposure risk, are not feasible. Nonetheless, risk assessment and post-transplant management of tropical IDs in tropical areas should not be neglected, and clinicians need to have a higher clinical awareness for tropical ID occurring in this population. Herein, we review the more significant tropical ID in transplant patients, focusing on relevant experience reported by tropical settings.
