Drug development in LMICs: could the emerging Indian model usher the southeast Asian region?
Review in The Lancet regional health. Southeast Asia, 2024. 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
Low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) of southeast Asia are passing through a similar phase as India in their tryst with the development of novel drugs. They are beginning to break away from their dependency on the institutions of our developed world. Over the past few years, Tata Memorial Centre-India's premier cancer centre-has shown the tenacity to develop drugs within the national frontiers. By collaborating with the domestic pharmaceutical industries, it has been able to have a steady pipeline of drugs under development, with two of them receiving marketing authorization recently. Lately, Indonesia and Vietnam have also shown an inclination towards public-private partnerships for similar motives. However, due to prolonged innovative stagnation, the entire drug development machinery faces challenges stretching all the way from arranging funds to persuading regulatory bodies. In this Viewpoint, we have tried to address a few of those issues and their potential solutions, with the intention to share our own experience which might be useful to other LMICs in connecting some adamant dots.
