Review in Pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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

Key changes in the pharmacoepidemiological research environment had a significant influence on the activities of the European Network of Centres for Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacovigilance (ENCePP) over the last decade. These changes included the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the increased access to anonymized real-world data (RWD) sources, the integration of real-world evidence (RWE) into regulatory and public health decision-making, and the emergence of new technologies and methods. This paper describes how ENCePP has evolved in this changing environment to strengthen pharmacoepidemiological methods and practice in Europe and globally. It also provides future perspectives for the network. Through a collaborative approach in non-interventional research, ENCePP will collectively continue to promote excellence for RWE generation, supporting the safe and effective use of medicines.
