Characteristics and outcomes of dengue infection in kidney transplant recipients: an integrative review.
Review in Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 2026. 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
Dengue is an arbovirus infection caused by the dengue virus, common in tropical and subtropical areas. It is mainly transmitted by bites from infected Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes, but donor-derived cases have been reported. In kidney transplant recipients with dengue, immunosuppressive therapy can affect their immune response and disease presentation. This study analyzed the characteristics and outcomes of kidney transplant recipients diagnosed with dengue. An integrative review was conducted, including case reports, series, case-control, and cohort studies. The PubMed/Medline search in August 2025 used this syntax: ((kidney transplantation) OR (renal transplantation)) AND (dengue). The articles were selected by two reviewers, with a third resolving discrepancies. The database search found 72 articles. After removing duplicates, 71 were screened. Overall, 41 articles were excluded because they did not address the study subject. In total, 30 articles underwent full-text review; eight were excluded-seven lacked kidney transplant recipients with dengue and one had insufficient case details on infected cases. This review included 22 studies from dengue-endemic countries regarding infection occurring from days to years after transplant. Bleeding was more common in infections occurring early post-transplant, possibly linking early infection to severe symptoms. The main symptoms were fever, myalgia, and headache, similar to those in immunocompetent hosts. Thrombocytopenia was frequent, likely due to viral infection and immunosuppressive drugs that affect bone marrow function. No studies assessed the effect of dengue on anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies or on graft rejection. Graft loss was 4%, and most patients recovered from the disease.
