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

In 1971 the British rock band Jethro Tull published their milestone album Aqualung with a song of the same title. The song tells the story of a character also named "Aqualung", a homeless person, who spends a cold day on a bench in a park in London. Nothing much happens: he watches little girls playing, bends to pick up a cigarette butt, walks to a public restroom, is offered a cup of tea by the Salvation Army, is scared by and flees from a young prostitute called "cross-eyed Mary", and then finally dies with "rattling last breaths with deep-sea diver sounds". Apparently, Aqualung is severely ill. He might suffer from pulmonary edema, peripheral artery disease, posttraumatic stress disorder and possibly from many other diseases typical of the homeless. The description of his final breaths may remind the anesthetist of the death rattle. One avenue for mediating medical knowledge to physicians is to link data and facts on diseases to elements of popular culture. This essay strives to use a still extremely popular rock song to sensitize and educate anesthetists and intensive care physicians regarding diseases of the homeless relevant to critical care.
