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

Signal management, defined as the set of activities from signal detection to recommendations for action, is conducted using different data sources and leveraging data from spontaneous reporting databases (SRDs), which represent the cornerstone of pharmacovigilance. However, the exponentially increasing generation and availability of real-world data collected in longitudinal healthcare databases (LHDs), along with the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence-based algorithms and other advanced analytical methods, offers a wide range of opportunities to complement SRDs throughout all stages of signal management, especially signal detection. Integrating information derived from SRDs and LHDs may reduce their respective limitations, thus potentially enhancing post-marketing surveillance. The aim of this position statement is to critically evaluate the complementary role of SRDs and LHDs in signal management, exploring the potential benefits and challenges in integrating information coming from these two data sources. Furthermore, we presented successful cases of the interplay between SRDs and LHDs for signal management, along with future opportunities and directions to improve such interplay.
