Safety and Efficacy of Once-Daily Prolonged-Release Tacrolimus in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: An Open-Label, Prospective, Single-Arm, Phase 4 Study.
Trial report in Annals of transplantation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND After liver transplantation (LT), nonadherence to immunosuppressants due to the complex regimen can lead to graft rejection and loss. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of conversion from twice-daily tacrolimus (Bid-Tac) to once-daily prolonged-release tacrolimus (OD-Tac) in living donor LT (LDLT) recipients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Among patients who underwent LDLT between November 2015 and October 2016, those who agreed to participate in this study were screened, and those with good general condition and stable liver functions were enrolled. Participants underwent a conversion from Bid-Tac to OD-Tac with a dose ratio of 1: 1 at about 10-14 weeks after LDLT and were followed-up for 24 weeks. RESULTS Thirty-one patients were enrolled. The median number of conversion days after LDLT was 12.3 weeks (range, 10.3-13.8). Adherence was evaluated during the outpatient visits at weeks 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 after Tac conversion, and 100% adherence was observed at all time points. There were no cases of acute rejection, graft loss, or patient death after Tac conversion. Nineteen cases of adverse events occurred in 11 patients (35.5%), none of which were severe. Alopecia was the most common, affecting 3 (9.7%) patients, followed by pruritus (n=2, 6.45%). There were no changes in renal function or in liver function test, serum glucose level, and lipid profile. CONCLUSIONS Early Tac conversion from Bid-Tac to OD-Tac is safe and feasible. However, further studies are needed to elucidate its long-term effects.
