BK Polyomavirus-Induced Nephropathy in Native Kidney.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BK polyomavirus has been well-studied as an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised kidney transplant patients. In the majority of the population, BK polyomavirus establishes a lifelong infection in renal tubular and uroepithelial cells; however, in an immunocompromised state, the virus can reactivate and can lead to BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (BKN). In this case, the patient was a 46-year-old male with a past medical history of HIV, compliant with antiretroviral therapy (ART), and B-cell lymphoma treated with chemotherapy. The patient presented with worsening kidney function of unknown etiology. This prompted further assessment with a kidney biopsy. Kidney biopsy findings were consistent with BKN. In the literature, BKN has been studied in renal transplant patients; however, it rarely involves native kidneys.
