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

Data from sources other than traditional randomized clinical trials are known as real-world data (RWD), and the evidence derived from the review and analysis of RWD is known as real-world evidence (RWE). RWD and RWE are used increasingly throughout the lifecycle of medicinal products to provide evidence about their effectiveness and safety. Recent regulatory guidance about RWE and approvals based on the use of RWE to demonstrate beneficial effects of products have created an urgency to develop generally accepted processes that promote trust in the evidence-generation process. A recent report from a working group of the Council for International Organizations of Medical Science (CIOMS) describes the use of RWE for decision making in the lifecycle of medical products, describes RWD and data sources, discusses key scientific considerations in the generation of RWE, and discusses ethical and governance issues related to the use of RWD. This paper provides a high-level summary of this report. More work remains to be done to globally harmonize practices and guidance for using RWD and RWE for regulatory decision making, thereby maximizing the benefits they can bring to patient care and public health.
