[Legal implications of overtreatment].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2019. 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
Treatment measures beyond a justifiable indication are not only dubious from a medical point of view but also risky with respect to liability law and criminal law, even if the patient wishes to do so. Thoughtless automatisms in the daily routine of health care, economic pressures and legal "sciolism" endanger the the making of appropriate decisions regarding treatment and the society's claim to an economical and equitable use of resources. It is expected that the judicial system will not only take the violation of the patient's right to self-determination into account, but in the future-more than it used to-the defiance of boundaries of the medical profession.
