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

A Canadian list of essential medicines to be publicly funded is crucial for implementing national universal pharmacare. The federal government maintains multiple medicine lists of publicly funded medicines for specific populations in Canada. Despite significant overlap across these lists, Canada does not yet have a single list that defines a minimum set of publicly funded medicines for everyone in Canada. Instead of creating a list from scratch, extant federal lists could form the basis for a harmonized list for all Canadians. We examined seven federal lists of publicly funded medicines and made recommendations for a potential future Canadian essential medicines list.
