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 17-year-old female with sickle cell disease status post a recent stem cell transplant and on tacrolimus developed an acute expressive aphasia, dysphagia, and drooling. Brain MRI revealed diffuse restricted diffusion involving the bilateral corona radiata and areas of white matter in the right cerebral hemisphere most consistent with toxic leukoencephalopathy. Tacrolimus serum concentration was high at 19.3 ng/ml (ref 9-12 ng/ml) for which tacrolimus was discontinued. She was neurologically back at baseline 2 days later with the tacrolimus level improving to 8.2 ng/mL. Following discontinuation and the declining trend of her tacrolimus levels the patient returned to her neurologic baseline and was subsequently switched to mycophenolate mofetil for GVHD immunosuppression.
