Management of concurrent severe COVID-19 pneumonia and antibody-mediated rejection following kidney transplantation: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. 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
Background: Due to its high mutation rate, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has recurrently emerged worldwide in recent years, leading to an increased incidence of rejection following kidney transplantation and a worsened prognosis for recipients. The management of the concomitant occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and rejection in kidney transplant recipients poses significant challenges, with limited available experience on this topic. This study presents a case report highlighting the simultaneous manifestation of severe corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and acute antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) during the early post-transplantation period. Methods: The recipient underwent the renal transplantation from a deceased donor after brain death and received comprehensive management including antiviral therapy, adjustment of immunosuppressive medications, and relevant supportive care during the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In the overlapping period of severe COVID-19 pneumonia and ABMR, we implemented plasma exchange (PE) combined with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and rituximab treatment, while closely monitoring infection-related indicators and elucidate the impact of PE on SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Results: The administration of PE did not significantly impact the level of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody. Meanwhile, the combination of PE, IVIG, and rituximab treatment effectively reversed ABMR without exacerbating SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusion: The timely administration of antiviral and anti-rejection therapies in the early stage of renal transplant recipient can lead to favorable outcome in case of SARS-CoV-2 infection and concurrent ABMR.
