Native kidney BK virus nephropathy, a systematic review.
Synthesis in Transplant infectious disease : an official journal of the Transplantation Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundThere is a growing base of literature describing BK nephropathy (BKVN) in patients outside of the setting of kidney transplant. Previous systematic reviews of the literature have been limited by methodology or by the scope of patients included. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsSystematic Review (Prospero # CRD42018088524). SETTING & POPULATION: Patients without kidney transplant who had biopsy-proven BKVN. SELECTION CRITERIA FOR STUDIES: Full-text articles that describe native BKVN patient cases. ANALYTICAL APPROACH: Descriptive synthesis.
resultsThe search identified 630 unique articles of which 51 were included in the final review. Sixty-five cases (including two new cases presented in this review) were identified, all but one occurred in the setting of known immunosuppression. LIMITATIONS: The primary limitation was the exclusion of studies that did not fulfill the stringent review criteria. We excluded reports with only a clinical diagnosis of BKVN, such as those with viruria and/or viremia without biopsy.
conclusionsAs of May 2018, there are 65 reported cases of BKVN in native kidneys. This represents the most comprehensive description of biopsy-proven BKVN in native kidneys to date. Evaluation for BK nephropathy should be considered in immunocompromised patients who exhibit unexplained renal failure.
