[Choosing Wisely. A model for the German health care system?].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIn 2011 the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) started the Choosing Wisely campaign. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe goal was to establish top 5 lists by the medical societies to reduce diagnostic and therapeutic procedures which are not necessary or are potentially harmful, and thereby lower health care costs. The lists contributed by the American Geriatric Society and the American Medical Director Association in 2013 will be discussed.
conclusionAt first glance, the idea seems simple, but numerous questions remain. Transferring this process to Germany appears theoretically possible, but various aspects of the health care system should be taken into consideration.
