Conceptualising health: insights from the capability approach.
Article in Health care analysis : HCA : journal of health philosophy and policy, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
This paper suggests the adoption of a 'capability approach' to key concepts in healthcare. Recent developments in theoretical approaches to concepts such as 'health' and 'disease' are discussed, and a trend identified of thinking of health as a matter of having the capability to cope with life's demands. This approach is contrasted with the WHO definition of health and Boorse's biostatistical account. We outline the 'capability approach', which has become standard in development ethics and economics, and show how existing work in those areas can profitably be adapted to healthcare. Cases are used to illustrate the value of adopting a capability approach.
