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

backgroundThe aim of our study was to determine the impact of CYP3A5*1 and CYP3A5*3 on the kinetics of tacrolimus in renal transplant recipients. MATERIAL AND

methodsForty kidney recipients were selected to participate. Maintenance scheme consisted of tacrolimus, a purine inhibitor and a steroid. CYP3A5 genotyping was performed with PCR and RFLP. Pharmacokinetic model was developed with Linear Regression and General Linear Model repeated measures approach. The impact of sex, CYP3A5*1 allele, age at transplantation, hepatic and renal function on tacrolimus kinetics was examined.

resultsThe frequency of CYP3A5*3/*3 and CYP3A5*1/*3 genotype was 35/40 and 5/40, respectively. No CYP3A5*1/*1 was detected. CYP3A5*1 variant was associated with significant lower TAC dose adjusted concentration at 3, 6, 12 and 36 months after transplantation. Hepatic and renal function showed a significant effect on tacrolimus dose adjusted concentration 3 months after transplantation (p=0.000 and 0.028, respectively). Sex did not show a significant impact on tacrolimus kinetics. Carriers of CYP3A5*1 allele had lower predicted measures for tacrolimus dose adjusted concentration and higher predicted measures for volume of distribution.

conclusionWe proved that CYP3A5*1 carriers need higher tacrolimus dose than CYP3A5*3 homozygotes to achieve the target blood concentration.
