Providing Patients with Critical or Life-Threatening Illnesses Access to Experimental Drug Therapy: A Guide to Clinical Trials and the US FDA Expanded Access Program.
Review in Pharmaceutical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
This review article considers two alternative options to standard treatment for desperately ill patients when standard treatments are no longer working: clinical trials and the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) expanded access program. The article describes the history of drug regulation in the United States, pointing out that the clinical research process to demonstrate safety and efficacy has lengthened the time to market approval. The author describes the advantages and disadvantages of clinical trials and of expanded access primarily for patients, with a discussion of the FDA's expanded access program, including descriptions of single patient, intermediate-size patient populations and widespread treatment uses. The advantages of the FDA's expanded access program over the new federal right-to-try law are also discussed. Alternative clinical designs are introduced into consideration as a way to improve the clinical trial process, reduce the time to market approval and perhaps interest more patients in enrolling in trials.
