Forest plot of retransplantation (network meta‐analysis estimates and direct comparisons when available). Both fixed‐effect model and random‐effects model for other interventions compared to tacrolimus are provided. The direct estimates and network meta‐analysis estimates are similar, although the random‐effects model was more conservative. Cyclosporine A resulted in higher incidence of retransplantation than tacrolimus.

Abbreviations: Tac = tacrolimus; Cy = cyclosporine A; Myc = mycophenolate; Aza = azathioprine; Std = glucocorticosteroids; _ = plus
