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

aimsTo explore the pharmacodynamics of mycophenolic acid (MPA) through inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) capacity measurement and purine levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) longitudinally during the first year after renal transplantation (TX).

methodsPBMC were isolated from renal recipients 0-4 days prior to and 6-9 days, 5-7 weeks and 1 year after TX (before and 1.5 hours after dose). IMPDH capacity and purine (guanine and adenine) levels were measured in stimulated and nonstimulated PBMC.

resultsTwenty-nine patients completed the follow-up period, of whom 24 received MPA. In stimulated PBMC, the IMPDH capacity (pmol 10

conclusionThe inhibitory effect of MPA was stronger in stimulated PBMC. Nonstimulated PBMC became less sensitive to MPA during the first year after TX. Early IMPDH capacity appeared to be predictive of dose reductions.
