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

Figure 4 Forest plot represents the biopsy proven acute rejection at 12 mo in kidney transplant 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 meta-analysis significantly favours CNI, with 95%CIs represented in horizontal bars. CNI: Calcineurin inhibitor.
