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

Clinical trials play a key role in patient care, academic education and research in surgery. Without valid studies the practice of evidence-based medicine is limited. Surgery is supported through funding by the German Ministry of Education and Research to establish an infrastructure for clinical trials. So far seven universities have worked together in a network since 2007 and successfully obtained funding for six large randomized trials from a program existing since 2004. Until now 2,249 patients have been randomized within 11 trials and 910 patients have been treated at local hospitals without academic responsibilities. An increase in the interest in clinical trials in daily practice has resulted through the certification of hospitals for special treatment that specifies that at least 5% of all patients are included in clinical trials.
