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

We read and enjoyed the paper entitled "Avicenna and Tremor of the Heart" by Ghahramani et al., which expressed the viewpoints of Avicenna, which was expressed unique subjects. But there are some contradictions with our findings which list as below: Dhanvantari was not a physician, but was of the Hindu gods; nadi in Sanskrit is derived from the word ney, referring to hollow paths. On the other hand, Nadi-ha is an equivalent of the pulse, but Nadi has been popular for several hundreds of years; Accordingly, there is no trace of a book written by Dhanvantari in the books translated from Hindi to Arabic during the translation movement, Rafus of Ephesus (70-110 A.D.) had the earliest writing about pulse, and Galen (129-210 A.D.) was not the first to provide a book concerning the pulse. Also, there was a severe breakdown in Greek medicine concerning the concept of the pulse, according to absence of pulse concept in Hippocrates works.
