Medical Device Development from Ideation to Regulation and Technology Transfer in Low- and Middle-income Countries.
Article in Acta medica Philippina, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Necessity motivates innovators in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) to develop medical devices that solve unmet local health needs. At the start of each process, multidisciplinary teams incubate ideas. Design planning and validation require funding, infrastructure, procurement, and testing. Ultimately, the regulatory and technology transfer processes usher the technology to market. These stages are standard procedures in developed nations; in an LMIC, these present a new set of hurdles to overcome. To assist innovators, this paper describes the hurdles from ideation to regulation and technology transfer and delineates mechanisms to address them.
