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

Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agencies (PMDA) receives the non-clinical safety studies following Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) for the marketing authorization of medical products. Here we analyzed the trends of GLP-compliant non-clinical studies (GLP studies) submitted to PMDA from FY2017 to FY2023. Geographical analysis of the origin of studies revealed that the share of Japanese studies slightly decreased over years, reflecting the drug lag/loss in Japan. This was supported by the analysis of the time from the completion of GLP studies to submissions. Importantly, studies from China and Taiwan were emerging, reflecting the active drug development in China, which is not the adherent to the OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD). We also discuss the PMDA's policies on the GLP studies conducted in non-MAD countries.
