Incidence of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection in After Kidney Transplant Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Reviews in medical virology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Kidney transplantation is recognised by the World Health Organisation as the most effective therapy for end-stage renal disease, offering substantial improvements in survival and quality of life. However, the immunosuppression required to prevent graft rejection predisposes recipients to opportunistic infections, among which cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. To determine the incidence of CMV infection in kidney transplant recipients and identify clinical and laboratory predictors and associated risk factors. A systematic review and meta-analysis, registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024524165), was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Web of Science, and LILACS databases were searched up to 6 March 2024 for cohort studies reporting CMV incidence post-kidney transplantation. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plots, Egger's test, Kendall's tau, and the fail-safe N. Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising 3888 patients with a mean age of 45.1 years and a mean follow-up of 7.14 months. The pooled incidence of CMV infection was 42% (95% CI: 30%-54%), with high heterogeneity (I
