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

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized 50 new drugs in 2024, which matches the average figure for recent years (2018-2023). The approval of 13 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) sets a new record, with these molecules accounting for more than 25% of all drugs authorized this year. Three proteins have been added to the list of biologics, and with the inclusion of four TIDES (two oligonucleotides and two peptides), only one in three approved drugs this year is a small molecule. As of 2023, no antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have reached the market this year. Two deuterated drugs have been approved, bringing the total approvals for this class of compounds to four. This year saw the authorization of two more PEGylated drugs-both peptides-highlighting a renewed interest in this strategy for extending drug half-life, despite the setback caused by the withdrawal of peginesatide from the market in 2014 due to adverse side effects.
