An introduction to health technology assessment and health economic evaluation: an online self-learning course.
Review in Netherlands heart journal : monthly journal of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology and the Netherlands Heart Foundation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cardiovascular diseases impose an enormous burden on patients and society. New health technologies promise to lower this burden; however, novel treatments often come at a high cost. In the Netherlands, health technology assessment (HTA) is increasingly being used to inform policy bodies about the optimal distribution of scarce healthcare resources and to guide decision-making about financing and reimbursement. In particular, economic evaluations, as one pillar of HTA, are frequently used to compare the costs and effects of different interventions. This paper aims to define HTA and its relevance to healthcare policy as well as providing a comprehensive overview of the methodology of economic evaluations targeting health professionals and researchers with limited prior knowledge of this subject. Accordingly, different types of economic evaluations are introduced, together with their respective costs and outcomes. Further, the results of economic evaluations are explained, along with techniques for performing them and methods for coping with uncertainty. In addition to this paper-based learning format, each chapter is complemented by a video lecture with further information and practical examples, helping to better understand and analyse health economic studies.
