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

introductionA major challenge in transplantation is improving long-term organ transplant and patient survival. Immunosuppressants protect the transplant organ from alloimmune reactions, but sometimes also exhibit limiting side effects. The key to improving long-term outcome following transplantation is the selection of the correct immunosuppressive regimen for an individual patient for minimizing toxicity while maintaining immunosuppressive efficacy. AREAS COVERED: Proteomics and metabolomics have the potential to develop sensitive and specific diagnostic tools for monitoring early changes in cell signal transduction, regulation and biochemical pathways. Here, we review the steps required for the development of molecular markers from discovery, mechanistic and clinical qualification to regulatory approval, and present a critical discussion of the current status of molecular marker development as relevant for the management and individualization of immunosuppressive drug regimens. EXPERT OPINION: Although metabolomics and proteomics-based studies have yielded several candidate molecular markers, most published studies are poorly designed, statistically underpowered and/or often have not gone beyond the discovery stage. Most molecular marker candidates are still at an early stage. Due to the high complexity of and the resources required for diagnostic marker development, initiatives and consortia organized and supported by funding agencies and regulatory agencies will be critical.
