Application of the Meikirch Model to independent medical evaluations for Social Security eligibility determinations in Switzerland and potential for use by physicians in many other situations.
Article in Journal of public health policy, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 Meikirch Model of Bircher and Kuruvilla provides a new and very interesting definition of health and disease, based on a biopsychosocial framework and the idea of an interaction of an individual with social and environmental determinants of health. It is a modern systems approach, not only for acute, but particularly for chronic diseases. For this reason, I have adopted this analytic approach for conducting independent medical evaluations in the Swiss system of Social Security.
