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

The global pandemic situation created by COVID-19 leaves many questions open in areas as diverse as politics, economics, society and ethics. The scarcity of health resources and the use that has been made of these by some governments raises the question of whether the distribution of health resources has been equitable, or whether the allocation of health resources depended on criteria such as age. The present work investigates whether those countries or geographical areas where euthanasia is legalized, decriminalized or socially accepted, have followed selective policies limiting access to healthcare by the elderly, thus undermining what is understood as quality of life.
