Invited commentary: Paths and pathologies of social epidemiology.
Article in American journal of epidemiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The article by professors Galea and Link in this issue of the Journal (Am J Epidemiol. 2013;178(6):843-849) is an important contribution to the field of social epidemiology. Their 6 paths provide ample fodder for reflection, debate, and advancement. Although I agree with the thrust and spirit of their recommendations, I argue that if social epidemiology is to advance and become not just more popular but also more useful, we social epidemiologists need to first address our disciplinary pathologies. Among other things, we must embrace macro-to-micro transitions, understand and act on the principles of effect identification, conduct many more experiments, and train students to be not researchers but scientists.
