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 CYP4503A5*1 genotype is associated with lower tacrolimus concentrations. Although its effect is important, it incompletely explains the variability in tacrolimus concentrations and has a relatively low minor allele frequency in whites relative to African Americans (AA).

methodsWe studied clinical and recipient genetic correlates of dose-normalized tacrolimus troughs (n=12,277) in the first 6 months posttransplant using a customized single-nucleotide polymorphism chip with 2722 variants in a large, ethnically diverse (144 AA and 551 non-AA) adult kidney transplant population through a seven-center consortium.

resultsDuring the 6-month study, AAs had consistently lower median (interquartile range) troughs than non-AAs, 6.2 (4.4-8.4) ng/mL vs. 8.3 (6.4-10.4) ng/mL (P<0.0001), despite 60% higher daily doses, 8 (5-10) mg vs. 5 (4-7) mg (P<0.0001). The median tacrolimus trough concentration in week 1 posttransplant was particularly low in AAs (2.1 [1.2-3.5] ng/mL) compared with non-AAs (5.0 [3.1-8.2] ng/mL) (P<0.0001), despite similar initial doses. In single-variant analysis, CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) was the top variant (P=2.4×10) associated with troughs. After adjustment for CYP3A5*3, clinical factors and race, 35 additional variants were identified (P<0.01, not significant at false discovery rate 20%). In the final multivariant, regression models beginning with these variants and clinical factors, seven variants were identified in the non-AA and seven variants in the AA group towards the first trough concentrations. Rs776746 (CYP3A5), rs2239393 (COMT) and diabetes were the only factors common in both populations.

conclusionWe identified variants beyond CYP3A5*3, which may further explain pharmacokinetic variability of tacrolimus and demonstrated that important variants differ by race.
