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

A two-and-a-half-day workshop on regulatory and ethical issues in first-in-human (FIH) clinical trials in India was held at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, India, on 7-9 November 2024, under the aegis of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) Phase I Network. The workshop brought together regulators, academic investigators, and industry representatives to examine the evolving regulatory landscape of early phase trials in India and the operational challenges associated with it. Through interactive sessions, including preparation of investigational new drug (IND) application, mock pre-IND/IND and mock subject expert committee (SEC) meetings, on-site monitoring simulations, and structured hands-on exercises, the workshop navigated regulatory submission pathways, trial reporting, documentation standards, safety oversight, and informed consent processes. A panel discussion on the phase lag policy for FIH studies in India was held with expert personnel from regulatory agencies, ICMR headquarters, industry, and academia. The workshop discussions underscored the need for policy harmonization, enhanced site preparedness, and sustained capacity-building to position India as a leader for early phase clinical research. The present article summarizes the proceeding of the workshop and highlights the critical insights for developing a regulatory and ethical framework to support FIH trials in India.
