BK Polyomavirus Diversity After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 (BKPyV) infection is common after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and is associated with the development of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). The role that BKPyV plays in the pathogenesis of HC is not well characterized. We investigated the impact of BKPyV diversity on the development of HC using a previously established cohort of pediatric HSCT patients. There were 147 urine samples with quantifiable BKPyV at month 1 after HSCT; 137 (93.2%) were amplified using our in-house polymerase chain reaction approach and sent for next-generation sequencing. Subtype Ia was most frequent (61.3%), followed by subtype Ib1 (31.4%). The median viral load of subtype Ia samples was higher than for subtype Ib1 at month 1. Across the protein coding regions, APOBEC-induced mutations and signature patterns associated with HC were identified. This is the largest sequencing study of a single cohort of HSCT patients, providing a vast resource of sequence data for future analyses.
