Efficacy, safety and cost of new cardiovascular drugs: a survey.
Article in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
To assess the type and degree of innovation of the cardiovascular drugs centrally approved in the European Union between 1995 and 2002. Sources of information were the European Public Assessment Reports and the Summaries of Product Characteristics published by the European Medicines Evaluation Agency. The Agency approved 11 active substances belonging to 5 therapeutic classes: anti-hypertensives, anti-arrhythmics, anti-platelets, anti-coagulants and fibrinolytics. Analysis of the documentation on which the marketing authorization was based shows few elements of innovation. Moreover, the new drugs usually cost more than similar drugs already available. Cardiovascular drugs approved in Europe in the last few years have contributed little to progress in this area. These approvals provide no real advantage to patients and lay an economic burden on society.
