Navigating the future: horizon scanning and early dialogue in health technology assessment in Latin America.
Article in International journal of technology assessment in health care, 2025. 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
objectiveTo systematize the information and perspectives shared during the 2024 LATAM policy forum, which explored advancements in horizon scanning and early dialogue processes in the region, by analyzing the main discussion and identifying the main lessons.
methodsThis article is based on the discussions and background materials provided during the 1.5 days in-person 2024 Latin American Policy Forum (59 representatives from 11 countries). We gathered and systematized the information shared during the forum, including the results of a pre-forum survey. The Forum agenda included keynote presentations, breakout group activities, and plenary discussions to identify the main lessons and key messages from all different stakeholders' points of view.
resultsThe forum highlighted the growing recognition of the need for structured horizon scanning and early dialogue processes in Latin America. Key barriers were identified, including the absence of clear legal frameworks, limited data availability, and the need for capacity-building. Potential solutions included fostering regional cooperation, improving transparency, and creating pilot programs for early engagement. Engaging patients and the pharmaceutical industry was deemed essential for trust and foster alignment between HTA agencies and regulators.
conclusionsHorizon scanning and early dialogue represent critical tools for improving health system preparedness and aligning innovation with local needs. Their implementation, however, requires coordinated efforts across multiple stakeholders, enhanced dialogue, and the development of supportive legal and regulatory frameworks.
