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

backgroundTo understand the extent to which a large-scale healthcare claims database (DB) captures the safety profile of eribulin mesylate (Halaven

methodsWe descriptively summarized patient characteristics and AEs of 551 and 951 patients retrieved from DB and PMS, respectively, during 2011‒2013. Using 2814 patient data from the DB during 2011‒2016, the drug use and AE incidence over time were assessed.

resultsIn both datasets, 99.8% were females, and the mean age was 57.8 ± 10.7 years. The mean number of eribulin administration was 11.1 ± 10.9 and 10.1 ± 7.8 in DB and PMS, respectively. Although, overall, the difference in AE incidence between the two datasets was moderate, gaps were larger for nausea (DB: 73.32% vs. PMS: 15.77%), neutropenia (20.87% vs. 66.67%), stomatitis (37.39% vs. 10.94%), and alopecia (0.36% vs. 12.09%). During 2011‒2016, the observed incidence of anemia or pyrexia significantly decreased (trend test, p = 0.0009 for both).

conclusionGenerally, patient characteristics, drug use, and AE incidence between the DB and PMS were comparable; however, AEs such as neutropenia may require defining based on the laboratory data to achieve more comparable results in DBs. Besides the usefulness of healthcare claims DBs for long-term assessments, they may also serve as a good complementary to PMS in the pharmacovigilance of eribulin.
