Economic evaluation of drugs and its potential uses in policy making.
Review in PharmacoEconomics, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Interest in the economic evaluation of drug treatments is steadily increasing, but the impact of such evaluations on decisions concerning the use of drugs is unclear. In this article I examine different decision and policy situations where economic evaluations of drug treatments could potentially be used. Economic evaluations may be used as an aid to the development of treatment guidelines, decisions within healthcare organisations, and decisions relating to approval, reimbursement and pricing. Economic evaluations appear to be most useful in the development of treatment guidelines and as an aid to reimbursement decisions. The incentive to use economic evaluations embodied in the healthcare system is also important. It is argued that it is too early to introduce regulations that require the use economic evaluations in, for example, reimbursement decisions. A more cautious approach might be preferred, where economic evaluations are used more selectively until the methodology and the field have developed further.
