A highly potent human antibody neutralizing all serotypes of BK polyomavirus.
Article in PLoS pathogens, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05769582 (Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of AntiBKV as Treatment of BKV Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients, a Randomized Phase II/III Study, Double-blind and Placebo-controlled), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
BK polyomavirus infection poses a significant risk to kidney transplant recipients. Reactivation of dormant virus in the transplanted kidney, triggered by immunosuppression, can lead to BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in up to 10% of transplants, often resulting in loss of graft function or even graft loss. Currently, there is no specific treatment that reliably prevents BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy or halts its progression. Standard of care relies on reducing immunosuppression, allowing the immune system to gradually control the infection but at the risk of provoking rejection episodes and compromising kidney function. This study describes the discovery and characterization of a highly-potent BK polyomavirus-neutralizing antibody, identified from a kidney transplant recipient who displayed rapid clearance of high-level BKPyV-DNAemia. Antibody mAb 319C07 (USAN potravitug) neutralizes all four BK polyomavirus serotypes and recognizes an epitope critical for viral cell attachment. mAb 319C07 is in clinical development for the treatment of BKPyV infection in renal transplant patients (NCT05769582).
