The end of evidence-based medicine?
Article in Inflammopharmacology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
It is customary for physicians and surgeons to recommend treatments that have the highest probability of getting the patient a good outcome. Deciding treatment based on results (outcomes actually achieved) has been advocated for hundreds of years. We are now in an era when practice recommendations are supposed to be based on evidence from randomized controlled trials. There are many defects in relying on RCTs which are reviewed in this article. Advantages of observational studies are outlined, and the importance of assessing one's actual results when applying a treatment based on controlled trial evidence is set out.
