Tacrolimus IPV Group Membership Does Not Consistently Track With Electronically Monitored or Self-reported Adherence in Adolescent and Young Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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: High intrapatient variability (IPV) of tacrolimus trough concentrations (SD ≥ 2, coefficient of variation (CV%) ≥ 30) is associated with rejection and graft loss and may indicate nonadherence. However, the association between tacrolimus IPV and electronically monitored or self-reported adherence is unknown. Methods: This secondary analysis of the TAKE-IT (Teen Adherence in Kidney Transplant Effectiveness of Intervention Trial) compared electronically monitored and self-reported adherence between participants with high and low tacrolimus IPV among 103 adolescent and young adult kidney transplant recipients (mean age = 15.18 y, 59% male, 60% White, 65% >1-y posttransplant). Results: Electronically monitored daily taking and timing adherence were not significantly associated with tacrolimus IPV group in binomial generalized linear mixed effects models: Participants with tacrolimus SD ≥ 2 or CV% ≥ 30 were no less likely to take each daily dose than those below these cutoffs (SD < versus ≥ 2: odds ratio [OR]; 0.84, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48-1.47; Conclusions: Tacrolimus IPV group membership does not consistently track with behavioral adherence measures. Relying on tacrolimus IPV group membership may misidentify nonadherence in adolescent and young adult kidney transplant recipients.
