The Value and Deliverables of Medical Affairs: Affiliate Perspectives and Future Expectations.
Article in Pharmaceutical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The Medical Affairs (MA) function in pharmaceutical companies creates a unique opportunity to ensure the internal linkage between Research & Development (R&D) and Commercial/Marketing functions, in addition to managing external scientific engagements with multiple stakeholders across life-science ecosystems. In recognition of the strategic value of MA, the objective of this paper is to share a comprehensive set of practical examples of the main deliverables within the MA function in the affiliate and align these with the two distinct phases; pre- and post-launch, respectively. We believe that an information gap currently exists in the available literature on these matters addressing practical aspects and examples beyond visionary, strategic thinking. Based on this contribution, further opportunities within MA can be discussed. In addition, we share our thoughts and considerations on future advancements in the role.
