Trial report in Clinical and experimental immunology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04244916 (Prospective Study to Investigate the Relevance of Monitoring Area Under the Curve of Mycophenolic Acid in Patients Receiving Mycophenolate Mofetil to Treat a Diffuse Cutaneous or a Pulmonary Involvement of Systemic Sclerosis), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) treatment strategy is based on immunosuppressive agents. Little information is available concerning mycophenolic acid (MPA) and the area under the curve (AUC) in patients treated for AAV. We evaluated the variations in pharmacokinetics for MPA in patients with AAV and the relationship between MPA-AUC and markers of the disease. MPA blood concentrations were measured through the enzyme-multiplied immunotechnique (C(0), C(30), C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), C(6) and C(9)) to determine the AUC. Eighteen patients were included in the study. The median (range) MPA AUC(0-12) was 50·55 (30·9-105·4) mg/h/l. The highest coefficient of determination between MPA AUC and single concentrations was observed with C(3) (P < 0·0001) and C(2) (P < 0·0001) and with C(4) (P < 0·0005) or C(0) (P < 0·001). Using linear regression, the best estimation of MPA AUC was provided by a model including C(30), C(2) and C(4): AUC = 8·5 + 0·77 C(30) + 4·0 C(2) + 1·7 C(4) (P < 0·0001). Moreover, there was a significant relationship between MPA AUC(0-12) and lymphocyte count (P < 0·01), especially CD19 (P < 0·005), CD8 (P < 0·05) and CD56 (P < 0·05). Our results confirm the interindividual variability of MPA AUC in patients treated with MMF in AAV and support a personalized therapy according to blood levels of MPA.
