Tacrolimus and Sirolimus Once Daily Monotherapy Regimen as a Safe and Effective Long-Term Maintenance Immunosuppressive Therapy in Pediatric Liver Transplantation.
Article in International journal of organ transplantation medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLong-term efficiency of attenuated immunosuppressive therapies is not well characterized in pediatric liver transplantation (LT).
objectiveTo assess the efficiency of tacrolimus once daily (TAC-OD) and sirolimus once daily (SLR-OD) immunosuppression in pediatric LT.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 59 children who underwent LT in our center during 2002 to 2016. Those including children who underwent planned decrease in immunosuppressant dose (stable clinical conditions after 2 years of LT), and those who underwent unplanned decrease in immunosuppressant dose (because of complications such as post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder [PTLD] and renal failure).
results25 of 59 children underwent planned decrease in immunosuppressant dosage (mean±SD duration of 4.5±1.8, range: 3-11 years); 34 had unplanned decrease (mean±SD of 1.3±0.6, range: 0.5-2.6 years). 19 of 25 children with planned conversion received TAC-OD; 6 received SLR-OD (22 with 1 mg/day dose, and 3 with 1 mg every two days). Of 34 children with unplanned conversion, 27 received TAC-OD, 7 SLR-OD (25 children with 1 mg/day, 7 with 1 mg every two days, 1 with 0.5 mg/day TAC, and 1 with 0.5 mg TAC every two days). We found no adverse events including acute or chronic graft rejection, renal insufficiency, infections, PTLDs, or cardiovascular thrombotic events after initiation of the modified immunosuppression in none of the groups.
conclusionTAC-OD or SLR-OD monotherapies are safe and effective for long-term management of LT children with either stable clinical conditions or those with LT complications.
