Glomerulonephritis with Crescents in Polyomavirus Nephropathy.
Article in Indian journal of nephrology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Polyomavirus nephropathy (PVN) is a known complication of renal transplantation due to the reactivation of latent BK virus (BKV) infection. Viral replication is usually confined to tubules. However, in severe viremia and late stages of PVN, it can involve glomerular parietal epithelial cells. Glomerular involvement by BKV can cause crescent formation and may lead to graft failure. We describe a relatively rare case of PVN with glomerular involvement and crescent formation in a 52-year-old male who had undergone a transplant 16 months ago. Despite the stoppage of immunosuppression, graft failure occurred eventually. Interestingly, we observed the intense positivity for IgG and c4d in the Bowman capsule on immunofluorescence. Observation of such positivity along Bowman capsule in renal biopsies with a limited number of glomeruli should alert pathologists to do a vigilant search of BKV inclusion and perform immunohistochemistry for SV 40 large T antigen.
