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

Recently, a new oral microemulsion formulation of cyclosporin A (CsA)--Neoral (Sandoz, Basle, Switzerland)--with a higher bioavailability has become available. Ten stable paediatric renal transplant recipients with excessive variations in CsA trough levels with the original Sandimmun (Sandoz, Basle, Switzerland) preparation were switched to Neoral on a 1:1 basis. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed impaired absorption of Sandimmun in six patients. Compared with equal doses of Sandimmun, the 8-h area under the concentration-time curve increased from 1,422 to 2,657 ng x h/ml and the peak concentration rose from 319 to 824 ng/ml (P < 0.01). In six patients with Sandimmun malabsorption, conversion on a 1:1 basis led to a reduction in creatinine clearance which was reversible after dose reduction by 9%-25%. With trough levels at the lower end of the present target range, creatinine clearance stabilised around pre-conversion values.
