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

This study aimed to develop limited sampling strategies to predict oral mycophenolic acid (MPA) exposure from one to three blood samples in stable steroid-free kidney-transplanted patients and assess if the same scheme could predict tacrolimus exposure. Additionally, we aimed to validate existing strategies, and to describe the pharmacokinetics of MPA and its inactive metabolite, MPA-glucuronide (MPAG), in our cohort. We analysed data from dense pharmacokinetic sampling from 15 steroid-free kidney-transplanted patients, which were prospectively enrolled as part of larger cohort. Drug concentration was analysed in plasma (MPA, MPAG) or in whole blood (tacrolimus) using LC-MS. Exposure (AUC
