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

A high intra-patient variability (IPV) of tacrolimus exposure is associated with poor long-term kidney transplantation outcomes. To assess the influence of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A5 genetic polymorphisms on tacrolimus IPV, 188 clinically stable kidney transplant recipients, who had received an immediate-release tacrolimus-based immunosuppressive regimen, were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. Genotyping of CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) was performed and 110 (58.5%) were identified as CYP3A5 expressers and 78 (41.5%) as nonexpressers. Whole blood tacrolimus concentrations were analyzed by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Dose-adjusted trough tacrolimus concentrations (C0/D) measured at months 6, 9, and 12 were used to determine IPV. There were no significant differences in the IPV estimated by the coefficient of variation, the IPV calculated by mean absolute deviation method, and the proportions of recipients with the IPV estimated by the coefficient of variation of 30% or more between CYP3A5 expressers and nonexpressers (p = 0.613, 0.686, and 0.954, respectively). Tacrolimus C0/D in CYP3A5 expressers was approximately half of those in nonexpressers, overall (p < 0.001). In both CYP3A5 expressers and nonexpressers, tacrolimus C0/D increased gradually from month 6 to month 12 (p = 0.021). There was no evidence that the CYP3A5 polymorphisms significantly influence tacrolimus IPV during the 6 to 12 months after kidney transplantation.
