Do selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors have a future?
Article in Drug safety, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The dramatic withdrawal of rofecoxib on 30 September 2004, along with safety concerns about other cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors (especially valdecoxib), raises important issues for clinicians, pharmaceutical companies and regulatory authorities. Some of these are examined in this article, including: (i) was the cardiotoxicity of rofecoxib evident long before its withdrawal?; (ii) is the thrombotic hazard a class effect that is applicable to all COX-2 inhibitors?; (iii) may conventional NSAIDs also confer a risk of cardiovascular thrombosis?; and (iv) is there any future for selective COX-2 inhibitors?
