1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In solid organ transplantation, CYA dosing is based on the area under the concentration vs time curve (AUC(inf)). This study aimed to develop a guideline for the initial i.v. CYA dose for pediatric hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) patients to achieve the target AUC(inf) recommended in solid organ transplantation. Whole-blood CYA concentrations were determined in 24 patients (0.5-16.9 years) after the first i.v. dose given over 2 h, 1 day before HSCT. The i.v. CYA dose predicted to achieve an AUC(inf) of 4200 microg x h/l was calculated for each patient and expressed as a function of each patient's actual weight and body surface area (BSA). In patients <or=9 and >9 years of age, the mean i.v. CYA dose predicted to achieve the target AUC was 2.6+/-0.94 and 2.1+/-1.21 mg/kg, respectively. When these doses were expressed in terms of BSA, the mean dose was 65+/-23.1 and 68+/-35.0 mg/m(2) in children <or=9 and >9 years of age, respectively. In children 0.5-17 years of age undergoing HSCT, we recommend an initial i.v. CYA dose of 65 mg/m(2) infused over 2 h to achieve an AUC(inf) of approximately 4200 microg x h/l.
