1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Within the pharmaceutical industry, there is increasing interest in collecting health outcomes data in order to inform decision-making, both internally and externally. The overall aim of generating the health outcomes information is to determine the value of the product, from the perspective of all the stakeholders. In addition to studies carried out during phase II and III of clinical development, pharmaceutical companies have recently begun to collect health outcomes information earlier, with the expected requirements for reimbursement and market access considered during the preclinical and phase I stages. However, there are a number of challenges to the demonstration of product value during drug development, particularly relating to the limitations of clinical trials. One way that pharmaceutical companies are addressing these challenges is through the use of economic modelling, to provide a framework to test assumptions and assess uncertainty, and examine the budget impact of treatments. Although different countries may use the information differently, health outcomes evidence generated by the pharmaceutical industry is generally used to inform decision-making about pricing, reimbursement, treatment guidelines and inclusion of drugs on formularies. A wide variety of health outcomes information is produced by the industry in order to provide data on product value that are appropriate for the different perspectives of the stakeholders in the healthcare system.
