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

objectiveTo assess the impact of the recommendations that, the Technical Committee of the Spanish Pharmacovigilance System sent, in 2004, to the editors of Spanish medical journals on the minimum information required for publication of adverse drug reaction case reports.

designObservational study.

settingNational suspected adverse drug reactions database (FEDRA).

participantsPublished adverse drug reaction reports registered in FEDRA, published in the years before (2003) and after (2005) the recommendations were issued. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: The following data elements were analysed: sex, age, dose, disease treated with the suspected drug, length of treatment and adverse drug reaction, temporal sequence, withdrawal effect, and alternative causes. The results of the 2 years were compared.

resultsThe information in the case reports published between years 2003 and 2005 was not significantly different. The data elements more often incomplete were dose, length of treatment, as well as length of adverse reaction. Approximately one third of the published case reports included full information.

conclusionsThere seems to be a need to improve the data elements content of published adverse drug reactions case reports, so that such documentation can contribute to improve the assessment of alert signals.
