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

STUDY

objectiveThis study investigated race and sex differences in tacrolimus pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in stable kidney transplant recipients. DESIGN AND

settingA cross-sectional, open-label, single center, 12-h pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic study was conducted. Tacrolimus pharmacokinetic parameters included area under the concentration-time curve (AUC PATIENTS: 65 stable, female and male, Black and White kidney transplant recipients receiving tacrolimus and mycophenolic acid ≥6 months post-transplant were evaluated. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsBlack recipients exhibited higher tacrolimus AUC

conclusionsTacrolimus pharmacokinetics and adverse effects were different among stable kidney transplant recipient groups based upon race and sex with interpatient variability associated with the CYP3A5*3*6*7 metabolic composite. More cumulative, neurologic, and aesthetic adverse effects were noted among females. Tacrolimus regimens that consider race and sex may reduce adverse effects and enhance allograft outcomes by facilitating more patients to achieve the targeted AUC
