Graft loss including death: glucocorticosteroid avoidance or withdrawal versus glucocorticosteroid containing immunosuppression. Trial Sequential Analysis of the effect of glucocorticosteroid avoidance or withdrawal versus glucocorticosteroid‐containing immunosuppression on graft loss including death based on 11 trials with 1002 participants. The diversity‐adjusted required information size (DARIS) was calculated on the basis of type I error of 5%, type II error of 20% and risk reduction of 20%, and information size was adjusted for diversity (0%). The cumulative Z‐curve does not cross trial sequential monitoring boundaries, and the required information size was not reached.
