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

New medicines are designed to bind to receptors or enzymes and are tested in animal cells, tissues and whole organisms in a highly scientific process. Subsequently they are often administered to human subjects with tolerability as the primary objective. The process of development is considered to be linear and consecutive and passes through the famous four phases of development (Phase I-Phase IV). This is efficient for those projects for which the uncertainty about the development is low. There is, however, an increasing number of new prototypical compounds resulting from the increased biological knowledge with a high level of uncertainty. For these prototypical drugs development has to proceed in a much more adaptive manner, using tailor-made objectives, the development of special methodology and a cyclical rather than a linear type of project management.
