Not Always 'Slapped Cheeks': Parvovirus B19 Infection Causing Severe Anaemia in a Kidney Transplant Recipient.
Article in Case reports in transplantation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant patients. The clinical presentation can be atypical, and establishing the diagnosis in a timely manner can be challenging. We describe a 55-year-old woman who received a kidney transplant and developed severe anaemia with very high ferritin levels, abnormal liver function tests and no evidence of bleeding. Initial screening for parvovirus infection with IgG and IgM antibodies was negative, but blood DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for parvovirus was strongly positive with a high viral load. Treatment with reduction in immunosuppressive therapy and a course of intravenous immunoglobulin resulted in sustained improvement in haemoglobin levels and a reduction in viral load. This case report highlights the diagnostic and management challenges of parvovirus infection in a kidney transplant recipient.
