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 suitable dosage regime of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) based on the pharmacokinetics of mycophenoric acid (MPA) for pediatric patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is controversial. The pharmacokinetics of MPA is influenced by renal function, serum albumin concentration, and concomitant medications, especially calcineurin inhibitors. This study analyzed the pharmacokinetics of MPA in clinically stable children with INS receiving cyclosporine (CyA).

methodsThis retrospective study enrolled children with INS receiving MMF (Cellcept

resultsThirty-two patients (22 males) of median age 11.0 years were included; 32 pharmacokinetic studies were performed. The median MMF dose was 16.2 mg/kg/time or 470.4 mg/m

conclusionIn children with clinically stable INS receiving CyA, C2 monitoring was the most useful single parameter for estimating MPA pharmacokinetics. Younger children required higher MMF doses.
