A decision support tool to find the best cyclosporine dose when switching from intravenous to oral route in pediatric stem cell transplant patients.
Article in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeManaging the pharmacokinetic variability of immunosuppressive drugs after pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a clinical challenge. Thus, the aim of our study was to design and validate a decision support tool predicting the best first cyclosporine oral dose to give when switching from intravenous route.
methodsWe used 10-years pediatric HSCT patients' dataset from 2008 to 2018. A tree-augmented naïve Bayesian network model (method belonging to artificial intelligence) was built with data from the first eight-years, and validated with data from the last two.
resultsThe Bayesian network model obtained showed good prediction performances, both after a 10-fold cross-validation and external validation, with respectively an AUC-ROC of 0.89 and 0.86, a percentage of misclassified patients of 28.7% and 35.2%, a true positive rate of 0.71 and 0.65, and a false positive rate of 0.12 and 0.14 respectively.
conclusionThe final model allows the prediction of the most likely cyclosporine oral dose to reach the therapeutic target specified by the clinician. The clinical impact of using this model needs to be prospectively warranted. Respecting the decision support tool terms of use is necessary as well as remaining critical about the prediction by confronting it with the clinical context.
