Number of Regularly Prescribed Drugs and Intrapatient Tacrolimus Trough Levels Variability in Stable Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. 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
High intra-patient variability (IPV) of tacrolimus levels is associated with poor long-term outcome after transplantation. We aimed to evaluate whether the number of regularly prescribed medications is associated with the tacrolimus IPV. We have studied 152 kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with mean post-transplant time of 6.0 ± 3.1 years. The coefficient of variation (CV) as a measure of IPV was calculated in each individual patient. Data concerning the type and number of currently prescribed medications were collected. The participants were divided into four groups, based on the number of regularly prescribed drugs (≤3, 4-6, 7-9, ≥10 drugs, respectively). There was an increasing trend for median CV, proportional to the increasing number of medications [group 1: 0.11 (interquartile range, 0.08-0.14), group 2: 0.14 (0.01-0.17), group 3: 0.17 (0.14-0.23), group 4: 0.17 (0.15-0.30);
