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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being explored to support pharmacovigilance activities including processes involving individual case safety reports. These technologies may improve efficiency and enable new analytical capabilities, but they also raise important questions regarding the responsible use of these systems in contexts that directly support regulatory decision-making and patient safety. In response to these opportunities and challenges, the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) set up Working Group XIV on Artificial Intelligence in Pharmacovigilance to establish and promote principles and guidance for this area. The resulting CIOMS report was published in December 2025 and presents seven guiding principles: risk-based approach, human oversight, validity and robustness, transparency, data privacy, fairness and equity, and governance and accountability. To maximise stakeholder awareness and understanding, this article provides an overview of the CIOMS XIV guidance and illustrates how these principles may be applied in practice through selected use cases. The report aims to support stakeholders in developing and deploying AI systems in a manner that maintains scientific rigor, transparency, and public trust while enabling innovation to support safe use of medicines worldwide.
