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

The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) published the basic principles of bioequivalence evaluations for generic dry powder inhaler (DPI) drug products in March 2016. The basic principles were formulated to promote the development of effective and safe generic DPI drugs. Based on this document, the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) advises generic companies on effective development through consultation meetings. The PMDA generally requires data from in vitro tests, pharmacokinetic studies, and pharmacodynamic or clinical endpoint studies for generic drug development. The MHLW approved the first generic version of the Symbicort Turbuhaler in 30- and 60-dose pack sizes in February 2019. This article presents the concrete data on the first approval of generic DPI drug products based on public information. Graphical abstract.
