On the potential value of eHTA: a commentary on "Defining Early Health Technology Assessment: Building Consensus Using Delphi Technique".
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The HTAi Health Technology Assessment (eHTA) Working Group's (WG) development of a consensus definition of early eHTA, as reported in Grutters et al. (1), represents a major step towards the establishment of eHTA as a distinct subdiscipline of HTA. In a global landscape in which growth in pharmaceutical spending is driven by the increasing number of high-cost specialty drugs (2-6), and where the cost of new entrants is not systematically associated with their clinical benefit (7;8), broader uptake of eHTA by pharmaceutical innovators offers a route to improving the value delivered by our collective investments in drug research and development (R&D). As we argue in this commentary, the WG's report provides a coherent framework within which to further define appropriate eHTA methods for specific use cases as well as eHTA's relationship to other decision-making tools currently used by health technology innovators and funders.
