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

This article provides insights into the European Medicines Agency's approach to horizon scanning as a foresight tool to support early identification, analysis and preparedness for emerging trends, technologies and challenges relevant to medicines development and authorization. Emerging topics are identified through a continuous scanning of several sources of information, including key trends identified by leading institutions such as the World Health Organization, the European Commission Joint Research Centre, and the European Innovation Council. This perspective sets out the scope, impact and outputs of horizon scanning within the European medicines regulatory network, which include topic-specific reports, collaborative workshops and webinars, and contributions to regulatory policy, strategic planning, capacity building and research prioritization. It also emphasizes the European medicines regulatory network's commitment to collaboration and knowledge sharing across European and international organizations. Through these efforts, horizon scanning supports regulatory preparedness and resilience of the European medicines regulatory system.
