Effects of safety warnings and risk management plan for Thiazolidinediones in Taiwan.
Article in Pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate changes in thiazolidinedione use and quality of prescription following safety warnings for thiazolidinediones and cardiac risk in 2007, Risk Management Plan (RMP) policy for rosiglitazone in 2010, and warning for pioglitazone and bladder cancer risk in 2010 in Taiwan.
methodsWe obtained 2003-2011 claims data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Using an interrupted time series design and segmented regression, we estimated changes in monthly prescribing rates for thiazolidinediones among all and prevalent diabetes patients with and without cardiovascular disease history (CV history). We also compared time to prescription of thiazolidinediones among new diabetes patients with CV history before and after each regulatory action using survival analysis.
resultsAmong prevalent patients with and without CV history, the prescribing rates of rosiglitazone decreased 36.88% and 28.92% after safety warnings in 2007 respectively. Pioglitazone prescriptions increased 13% among patients with CV history, but no changes were detected among patients without CV history. After rosiglitazone's RMP policy in 2010, large reductions in prescriptions were observed in patients with CV history (-101.67%) and those without CV history (-88.04%). Among new diabetes patients with CV history, cardiac safety warnings in 2007 significantly delayed the prescription of rosiglitazone, but no significant change was found for pioglitazone.
conclusionsThe Taiwan FDA regulatory actions for thiazolidinediones communicated possible risks of cardiac events and bladder cancer. Different safety regulatory actions had differential impacts on the use of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone and the quality use of these drugs among the high-risk patients.
