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

Autopsy rates have been declining for decades all over the world; however, the causes of this decline have not been clearly elucidated. This negative trend could cause wider problems as yet unthought of. Autopsies serve medical training and specialist medical training, quality management, patient care systems as well as cause of death statistics, thereby ensuring good medical practice and a balanced allocation of funds. The aim of this article is to present autopsies and their impact on teaching, patient care and epidemiology in an objective manner. Heeding the crucial points could have a positive effect on the entire health system with a minimum of effort, while ignoring them could have adverse consequences for physicians, patients and their relatives, as well as society as a whole.
