Generic Drug Product Development in Japan: Regulatory Updates During 2014-2019 and the Future.
Article in European journal of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The growth of healthcare cost is a serious issue in many countries. Generic drug products play an essential role in reducing healthcare costs because they are less costly than the innovator drug products. The regulatory review of generic drug products in Japan is conducted by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). This report introduces the activities of the PMDA from fiscal years 2014-2019. The number of approvals of new generic drug products and partial changes was trending downward. Alternatively, the PMDA conducted six types of consultation meetings to advise on development and application; the number of consultation meetings was increasing. Moreover, during this period, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare issued two basic principles for ophthalmic dosage forms and dry powder inhaler drug products and revised the guidelines for bioequivalence. Finally, the future of generic drug product development and considerations to improve their regulation were discussed. More efforts will continue to enable a more efficient and rational generic drug product development and shortening of the review period for partial change approval.
