Medical decisions are not just about the facts: What a life-threatening virus can teach us about empathy, psychology, and the practice of neurology.

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
Getting the facts about risk and benefit is a critical part of medical decision-making. But when doctors and patients disagree on what is reasonable risk, it takes more than a grasp of the data to establish the way forward. Our competence as physician-scientists relies on our ability to master the mechanics and information flow of our specialty. But we physicians, curious amalgams of scientists, scholars, researchers, and healers, should be aware of how we respond to the uniqueness of each of our physician-patient relationships, and be willing to explore ways in which the psychological and interpersonal dynamics influence the ethical, medically correct choices we pursue in them.
