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
Tacrolimus (TAC) is essential for prophylaxis of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We have sometimes observed large fluctuations in TAC concentration. However, links between the variability in the concentration or the concentration/dose (C/D) ratio of TAC and clinical complications remain ambiguous. To clarify relationships between various parameters of TAC and early complications such as pre-engraftment immune reactions/engraftment syndrome, aGVHD, and transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA), a total of 146 patients who underwent allo-HSCT were included. Intrapatient variabilities in the concentration and C/D ratio of TAC were estimated by intrapatient mean absolute deviation (iMAD). The mean concentration and C/D ratio of TAC were not significantly different between with and without complications. A strong association was observed between greater iMAD for TAC C/D ratio from days 15 to 21 and the development of TA-TMA. iMAD values for TAC C/D ratio of 11.4 or greater was a risk factor for TA-TMA and the cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was significantly higher in patients with iMAD values for TAC C/D ratio of 11.4 or greater. Intrapatient variability in the C/D ratio of TAC was associated with the incidence of TA-TMA and NRM and might be useful for predicting TA-TMA.
