1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWhile anaemia following liver transplant is common, anaemia in the context of BK viraemia is not a commonly recognised phenomenon. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of 59-year old gentleman with severe anaemia in the context of BK viraemia and nephropathy following ABO incompatible liver transplant. Severity of anaemia appeared to correlate with high titres of BK virus in the serum. Bone marrow biopsy revealed hypocellular marrow with normal cytogenetics. Anaemia improved with treatment with cidofovir, intravenous immunoglobulin, reduction in immunosuppression and erythropoietin stimulating agent.

conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first case of anaemia post liver transplant contributed to by BK viraemia.
