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 COVID-19 pandemic presents several challenges to the organisation and workflow of pharmacovigilance centres as a result of the massive increase in reports, the need for quick detection, processing and reporting of safety issues and the management of these within the context of lack of complete information on the disease. Pharmacovigilance centres permanently monitor the safety profile of medicines, ensuring risk management to evaluate the benefit-risk relationship. However, traditional pharmacovigilance approaches of spontaneous reporting, are not suitable in the context of a pandemic; the scientific community and regulators need information on a near real-time point. The aim of this commentary is to suggest six interrelated multidimensional guiding axes for drug safety management by pharmacovigilance centres during the COVID-19 pandemic. This working plan can increase knowledge on COVID-19 and associated therapeutic approaches, support decisions by the regulatory authorities, oppose fake news and promote more efficient public health protection.
