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

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), a prodrug rapidly converted to mycophenolic acid (MPA), is widely used after lung transplantation, but fixed-dose therapy is complicated by exposure variability, enterohepatic recirculation, drug interactions, and limited routine use of area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)-guided therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) may support less invasive sampling, including later sampling windows relevant to enterohepatic recirculation. This prospective exploratory cohort study enrolled Taiwanese lung transplant recipients receiving MMF for more than three days. MPA concentrations were collected using VAMS at eight time points over a 12-hour dosing interval. Full-profile AUC
