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

Together with CsA, the new macrolide immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin have proved to be valuable tools in providing new information about key molecular events that underlie lymphocyte activation and degranulation. Studies of their mechanisms of action have pinpointed the phosphatase calcineurin and protein kinases as important signaling mediators in T-cell activation. Other new immunosuppressive drugs, including leflunomide, mycophenolate mofetil, brequinar sodium and deoxyspergualin exhibit diverse inhibitory effects on cells of the immune system and offer considerable promise as adjunctive therapeutic immunosuppressants. FK506 appears to be both a valuable therapeutic alternative to liver or kidney retransplantation and an alternative primary immunosuppressant to CsA in hepatic (especially) and renal transplantation. There is now good evidence that immunosuppressive drugs, both old and new, permit the establishment of donor-derived, multi-lineage cell chimerism following organ transplantation.
