Why medical care costs in Japan have increased despite declining prices for pharmaceuticals.
Review in PharmacoEconomics, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Analysis of the 1979 to 1993 surveys of national claims data shows that, using deflated prices, most of the increase in outpatient care costs is due to drugs, with increases in gross volume and deflated unit prices making equal contributions. Further analysis of detailed prescriptions data obtained from one-tenth of the total sample for 1991 and 1993 reveals that new drugs and originator drugs tend to be selected more often. The present vicious cycle of high launch prices, followed by subsequent cuts in the fee schedule, has led to adverse consequences for the industry, physicians and patients.
