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

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is an approved drug widely used as an immunosuppressant agent for the prevention of rejection in organ transplant patients and for managing various autoimmune disorders. Pharmacological studies have shown that the plasma exposure of MPA is critical to maintaining its efficacy, leading to a significant focus on MPA therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in clinical practice. Additionally, many papers have been published regarding MPA's absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) characteristics, which are the key disposition factors affecting the plasma exposure of MPA. In this paper, we review the current data and information in the literature on the ADME properties of MPA and discuss their implications for MPA's TDM. We also analyze the disposition of MPA major metabolites mycophenolic acidglucuronide (MPAG), and acyl-glucuronide (AcMPAG), highlighting the key factors that affect MPA plasma exposure, including the influence of transporters, namely Multidrug Resistance-Associated Protein 2 (MRP2), Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP), Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptides (OATPs), metabolic enzymes (i.e., UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs)), enterohepatic recycling (EHR), and protein binding. We expect to provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding of factors that could affect MPA's TDM to ensure its efficacy.
