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

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a widely used immunosuppressive agent and exerts its effect by inhibiting inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), the main regulating enzyme of purine metabolism. However, significant unexplained differences in the efficacy and tolerability of MPA therapy pose a clinical challenge. Therefore, broad pharmacogenetic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic approaches are needed to individualize MPA therapy. In this prospective cohort study including 277 renal transplant recipients, IMPDH2 rs11706052 SNP status was assessed by genetic sequencing, and plasma MPA trough levels were determined by HPLC and IMPDH enzyme activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Among the 277 patients, 84 were identified with episodes of biopsy-proven rejection (BPR). No association was found between rs11706052 SNP status and graft rejection (OR 1.808, and 95% CI, 0.939 to 3.479;
