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

aimSmall-scale clinical studies have reported on drug interactions between caspofungin (CPFG) and calcineurin inhibitors in healthy subjects; however, little is known about these interactions in allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) patients.

methodsWe retrospectively assessed the drug interactions and safety profiles in allo-HCT recipients treated concomitantly with CPFG and calcineurin inhibitors.

resultsNinety-one consecutive cases were evaluated. There were no statistically significant differences in the plasma concentration/dose (C/D) ratios of tacrolimus (TAC) in 34 patients before and after co-administration with CPFG (median: 575.6-672.4, P = 0.200). In contrast, the median C/D ratio of cyclosporin A (CsA) in 16 patients was significantly elevated after co-administration with CPFG (median: 62.8-74.9, P = 0.016). There were no serious adverse effects on liver or renal function associated with the therapy.

conclusionsOur data show that CPFG did not affect the pharmacokinetics of TAC and that it could mildly increase CsA blood concentrations in allo-HCT patients.
