Data Resource Profile: IQVIA Medical Research Data (IMRD).
Article in Clinical epidemiology, 2026. 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
IQVIA Medical Research Data (IMRD) was established to be used for population-based research to provide insights into primary care managed diseases and treatments to help inform healthcare decisions and improve patient outcomes. Uses include determining the burden of illness, treatment patterns and adherence, drug safety, morbidity and mortality patterns, outcomes research, health economics research, risk management, quantifying unmet needs and resource utilisation. IMRD contains longitudinal, non-identified data on more than 6 million people ever registered with a participating primary care practice in England - of these, 2.2 million remain actively registered and contributing data as of January 2024 with a median of 8 years of follow-up data. Both historic and current records are available for research. IMRD contains information on primary care consultations including patient characteristics (eg year of birth and socioeconomic information), clinical events (eg symptoms, diagnoses and referrals), prescribed medications, tests and other health information (eg height and weight) and immunisations. IMRD has NHS Research Authority approval for medical research and treatment analysis. Data can be supplied to external researchers for scientifically approved studies under Data Sharing Agreements. Access is granted by the Scientific Review Committee based on study protocols. All studies are required to show scientific merit, fulfil the research purpose outlined, and demonstrate potential benefit to health and social care.
