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

Modern medicine has its roots in the nineteenth century, when bacteria and viruses were increasingly recognized as the primary cause of the most prevalent diseases of that era. In the early twentieth century, the discovery of antibiotics provided a cure for infectious disease (Aminov, Front Microbiol 1:134, 2010). Moreover, the advent of effective anesthesia allowed more extensive surgery to manage the damage done by accidents. When we got sick, we attended a medical doctor, who prescribed a pill or performed surgery, which essentially cured our illness. This health care model worked perfectly well and still does in case of infectious disease or fractures. However, the nature of contemporary disease has changed profoundly over the last century, and we failed to appropriately adapt our health care system.
