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

This reflection paper presents a consolidated view of EFPIA on the need for principles for good practice in the generation and use of non-interventional studies (NIS), including overarching principles such as the registration of hypothesis evaluating treatment effect (HETE) studies. We first define NIS and the important adjacencies to clinical trials and relationship with real-world evidence (RWE). We then outline the principles for good practice with respect to appropriate research design, study protocol, fit-for-purpose variables and data quality, analytical methods, bias reduction, transparency in conduct and use, privacy management and ethics review. We conclude with recommendations for action for the research community to promote trust and credibility in the use of NIS.
