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

Introduction Biologics are substantial in the treatment of different diseases; however, they can burden the healthcare systems due to their high cost. Biosimilars can help healthcare systems keep their financial sustainability and patients access to biological therapies. The research objective is to formulate a framework for integrating biosimilars in the private healthcare sector of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This framework was based on local stakeholders' recommendations to ensure alignment with the UAE's healthcare market dynamics and needs. Methods Stakeholders from the private sector and regulators from the public sector completed a questionnaire tailored to the UAE healthcare system, based on recommendations from local stakeholders. The questionnaire encompassed five key domains: overall perceptions of biosimilars, pricing and reimbursement strategies, financing protocols, information sharing, and monitoring practices. They filled out the questionnaire during a workshop held during the 2
