Systemic meta-analysis assessing the short term applicability of early conversion to mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors in kidney transplant

Figure 2 Forest plot represents the glomerular filtration rate at 12 mo in kidney trans-plant recipients when treated with mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor or calcineurin inhibitor therapy. Squares represent size effects of studies, comparing the weight of the study in the meta-analysis. The diamond summary effect shows signifi-cant favour towards mTOR inhibitors. 95%CIs represented in horizontal bars. mTOR: Mammalian target of rapamycin.
