JC polyomavirus replication and associated disease in pediatric renal transplantation: an international CERTAIN Registry study.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundJC polyomavirus (JCPyV)-associated nephropathy (JCPyVAN) is a severe, but rare complication in adult renal transplant (RTx) recipients. Related data in pediatric patients are scarce.
methodsBased on the CERTAIN Registry, we therefore performed a multi-center, retrospective study on the JCPyV antibody status, prevalence of JCPyV replication, and its associated disease in 139 pediatric RTx recipients (mean age, 8.5 ± 5.3 years). JCPyV DNA in plasma and/or urine was measured by quantitative PCR at a median time of 3.2 (IQR, 0.3-8.1) years post-transplant.
results53.2% of patients were JCPyV-seronegative prior to transplantation; younger age was associated with JCPyV seronegativity. 34/139 (24.5%) patients post-transplant showed active JCPyV replication in either urine (22.0%), plasma (13.4%), or both (7.6%). JCPyV viremia occurred significantly (p < 0.001) more often in patients with viruria (34.6%) than in those without (7.6%), but 7/118 (5.9%) had isolated viremia. High-level viruria (> 10
conclusionsThis first multi-center study on JCPyV in pediatric renal transplant recipients shows that JCPyV replication is common (24.5%), with strong immunosuppression being a significant risk factor, but associated nephropathy is rare.
