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 hospitals of the future will be shaped by scientific and technical advances made across a wide range of disciplines because complex problems in healthcare cannot be addressed successfully by a single discipline. This paper considers how interdisciplinary research is being promoted and the prospects for developing stronger and deeper collaborations between medicine, health and other disciplines, drawing on case studies from mathematics, physics and engineering. The anticipated impact of greater interdisciplinarity on clinical training and the provision of care is also reviewed. While the role and training of clinicians in the provision of care will continue to evolve, they will remain leading members of a much broader and more diverse interdisciplinary team, alert to the value of deep and sustained interdisciplinary research.
