EIDOS: a mechanistic classification of adverse drug effects.
Article in Drug safety, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The mechanisms of adverse drug effects have not been adequately classified. Here, we propose a comprehensive mechanistic classification of adverse drug effects that considers five elements: the Extrinsic chemical species (E) that initiates the effect; the Intrinsic chemical species (I) that it affects; the Distribution (D) of these species in the body; the (physiological or pathological) Outcome (O); and the Sequela (S), which is the adverse effect. This classification, which we have called EIDOS, describes the mechanism by which an adverse effect occurs; it complements the DoTS classification of adverse effects (based on clinical pharmacology), which takes into account Dose responsiveness, Time course, and Susceptibility factors. Together, these two classification systems, mechanistic and clinical, comprehensively delineate all the important aspects of adverse drug reactions; they should contribute to areas such as drug development and regulation, pharmacovigilance, monitoring therapy, and the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adverse drug effects.
