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

purposeThe rapid development of surgery in Germany in the nineteenth century occurred for many reasons, particularly political and economic changes and cultural and scientific progress. This paper analyses the progress of orthopaedic surgery from an historical point of view.

methodsAfter Napoleon's defeat, a peace conference was held in Vienna (1814-1815). Prussia took a portion of Saxony, Austria and territories along the Rhine. The unification of Germany continued in 1850 and 1880; several wars occurred in the unification process, including against Denmark, Austria and France. These wars caused an urgent request for army surgeons and cooperation between civil and military practice.

resultsThe increase in the number of faculty institutes in surgery, the unification of different surgical organisations, and the organisation of scientific societies participated in this development. C. Langenbeck, G. Stromeyer, B. von Langenbeck and J.F. von Esmach were the most proactive surgeons of this period

conclusionImprovements in war surgery, percutaneous tenotomy, the foundation of the German Society of Surgery and bloodless surgical techniques for limbs were the most important innovations.
