Arenaviruses and West Nile Virus in solid organ transplant recipients: Guidelines from the American Society of Transplantation Infectious Diseases Community of Practice.
Article in Clinical transplantation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
These updated guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Community of Practice of the American Society of Transplantation review the epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of infection due to Arenaviruses and West Nile Virus (WNV) in the pre- and post-transplant period. Arenaviruses and WNV have been identified as causes of both donor-derived and post-transplant infection. Most data related to these infections have been published in case reports and case series. Transplant recipients may become infected with Arenaviruses if they, or their donors, are exposed to wild rodents or infected pet rodents. Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus is the most commonly recognized Arenavirus among transplant recipients and should be considered when transplant recipients present with fever, hepatitis, meningitis/encephalitis, and/or multisystem organ failure. WNV is a mosquito-borne virus, and as such, its incidence varies yearly depending on environmental conditions. WNV in transplant recipients typically presents with fever, myalgias, and rash; approximately one in 40 develop neuroinvasive disease. Due to its morbidity, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network recently mandated that transplant centers screen living donors for WNV infection in endemic areas. Little is known about the optimal treatment of Arenaviruses or WNV; reduction in immunosuppression and supportive care are the mainstays of management at present.
