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

purposeIn this study, we aimed to establish a tacrolimus population pharmacokinetic model and better understand the drug-drug interaction between Wuzhi capsule and tacrolimus in Chinese renal transplant recipients. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe performed a population pharmacokinetic analysis using a non-linear mixed-effects model to determine the suitable Wuzhi capsule dose in combination with tacrolimus. Data on 1378 tacrolimus steady-state concentrations were obtained from 142 patients who received kidney transplant in Changhai Hospital and Huashan Hospital. Demographic characteristics, laboratory tests, genetic polymorphisms, and co-medications were evaluated.

resultsThe one-compartment model best described data. Our final model identified creatinine clearance rate, hematocrit, Wuzhi capsule dose,

conclusionOur model can accurately describe population pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus when combined with different doses of Wuzhi capsule. Additionally, this model can be used for individualizing tacrolimus dose following kidney transplantation.
