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

backgroundWe observed that medical devices advertised in journals are often no longer available 5 to 10 years after first being advertised. In this study, we quantified the percentage of products advertised from 2003 to 2008 in the

methodsWe created a database of 427 unique orthopaedic products advertised in the

resultsA total of 13.8% of products were discontinued 5 to 10 years after being advertised. Three percent were discontinued through forced recall, and 10.8% were discontinued voluntarily. Of the products still available, 60.2% were in current form, 12.9% were modified, 11.9% were available under a different company, and 1.2% were available but were temporarily recalled.

conclusionFive to 10 years after the initial advertisement, nearly 40% of products were not available in their original advertised form.
