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

Background: Tacrolimus, an approved first-line calcineurin inhibitor, is widely prescribed in organ transplantation to prevent allograft rejection. Its narrow therapeutic index requires precise management to achieve optimal dosing and to minimize adverse drug events (ADEs) while ensuring its therapeutic efficacy. Among several factors, genetic differences contribute significantly to the inter-individual and inter-ethnic variability in pharmacokinetics (PK) of tacrolimus in kidney transplant recipients. As a result, investigating the role of genetic variation in Greek transplant recipients becomes crucial to optimizing therapeutic strategies and enhancing the efficacy of immunosuppressive treatment. Hypothesis: Genetic variants which are known to influence the activity of enzymes or drug-transporters critical to tacrolimus pharmacokinetics, may significantly affect the required kidney post-transplant tacrolimus daily dose. Aim: To assess the correlation of Methods: Ninety-four unrelated Greek kidney transplant recipients were included in this study from the Department of Nephrology and Kidney Transplantation of the University General Hospital of Patras. Patients' dose-adjusted trough levels were measured at five distinct time points after transplantation and analyzed in relation to the possible influence of Results: The genetic variants rs1128503, rs2229109, rs2242480, rs4986910 did not show any significant association with the daily dosing requirements of tacrolimus for at least 1 year, in Greek patients who have undergone kidney transplant. Conclusion: It remains uncertain whether these genetic variants influence the assessment of the appropriate tacrolimus dosing 1 year after transplantation in Greek kidney transplant recipients.
