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

Finding the balance between clinical efficacy and toxicity of immunosuppressive drugs is a challenge in renal transplantation (RTx), but especially in pediatric RTx patients. Due to the expected longer life-span of pediatric transplant patients and the long-term consequences of drug-induced infectious, malignant and cardiovascular adverse effects, protocols which minimize immunosuppressive therapy make conceptual sense. In this context, therapeutic drug monitoring is a tool which provides support for the individualization of therapy. It has, however, limitations, and specific data in the pediatric cohort are comparatively sparse. There is large heterogeneity among the studies conducted to date in terms of methods, follow-up, endpoints, immunosuppressive regimens and patients. In addition, data from adult studies are not readily transferrable to the pediatric situation. This educational review gives a concise overview on aspects of therapeutic drug monitoring in pediatric RTx.
