Criteria for Drug Pricing: Preliminary Experiences with Modeling the Price-Volume Relationship.
Article in Scientia pharmaceutica. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In managing drug prices at the national level, price-volume agreements are a tool aimed at ensuring sustainability in cases where the drug price is high and the population is large. These agreements in fact determine a progressive price reduction as more and more patients are treated. Price decays in this context generally have a purely empirical nature, but a theoretical basis would be needed. The present paper describes a simple model that manages price-volume agreements. Two real examples (ranibizumab for macular degeneration and sofosbuvir for hepatitis C) are analysed in detail. The objective of our analysis was to identify some objective criteria to rationally guide these agreements and to convert these criteria into explicit quantitative rules.
