BK Polyomavirus and acute kidney injury in transplant recipients: signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms.
Review in Virology journal, 2025. 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
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition that can result in changes in both urine production and creatinine levels in the bloodstream, complicating the treatment process and worsening outcomes for many hospitalized patients. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), a member of the Polyomaviridae family, is prevalent in the population and remains latent in the body. It can reactivate in individuals with a compromised immune system, particularly post-kidney transplant, and can activate various transcription factors and immune mediators. Although reactivation is often asymptomatic, it can present as AKI, which is a risk factor for early loss of the transplanted organ. The immune response to BKPyV is crucial in controlling the virus and safeguarding organs from damage during infection. Understanding BKPyV pathways may offer novel opportunities for effectively treating BKPyV-associated complications. This review seeks to elucidate the potential mechanisms by which BKPyV reactivation can lead to AKI by analyzing various signaling pathways, as well as the identification of molecular mechanisms that BKPyV may utilize to induce AKI.
