Current status of health technology assessment research in Japan.
Article in Annals of clinical epidemiology, 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
Health technology assessment (HTA) is implemented in the decision-making process for the reimbursement and pricing of drugs and medical devices around the world. This study presented the trend and characteristics of HTA research in Japan and worldwide. HTA research increased since the 2010s. Cancer was a prominent subject and the Markov model was a major analytical model in HTA research both globally and in Japan. In Japan, osteoporosis was a more popular topic, but there were fewer surgical research and review articles compared to the global trend. Since Japanese articles on HTA were much fewer than those from the United States, the United Kingdom, and China, various types of HTA research should be encouraged in Japan to promote product innovation and optimize medical expenditures.
