Early Onset Mycoplasma spp. Infection After Kidney Transplantation: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Clinical transplantation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundIn recent years, there has been a progressive increase in the number of Mycoplasma spp. infections (MIs) reported among kidney transplant (KT) recipients. Although in these patients MIs have been associated with life-threatening complications and graft failure, specific epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnostic work-up, and treatment strategies remain undefined.
methodsWe performed a systematic review (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane) of MIs after kidney transplantation (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024520942).
resultsOur work summarizes 13 case reports, 7 retrospective case series, and 1 retrospective uncontrolled cohort study, published between 1970 and 2023, collectively reporting 30 episodes of MIs. Due to the scarcity of information, incidence, prevalence, and predisposing factors could not be explored. Time interval between kidney transplantation and MIs ranged between 3 and 120 days. More often, the surgical site (n = 18) or the urinary tract (n = 6) was involved, with most infections sustained by Mycoplasma hominis (n = 28). Clinical features included fever (n = 18), abdominal pain (n = 8), leukocytosis (n = 8), and elevated CRP levels (n = 6). The definitive diagnosis was obtained using microbial cultures (n = 16) or PCR method (n = 12), and the time required for identification varied from 3 to 90 days. Preferred antibiotics were tetracyclines (n = 19) and quinolones (n = 9). Overall, MIs led to 20 surgical interventions, 6 graft losses, and 2 deaths.
conclusionFuture research projects should consider the epidemiology of Mycoplasma spp. infection in solid organ transplant recipients.
