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 right of patients to self-determination has become increasingly important in recent decades. In clinical practice, it finds concrete expression in the concept of informed consent, according to which medical interventions outside of emergency situations are only permissible with the consent of the informed patient. In the event that the patient later becomes incapable of giving consent, it is possible to document the patient's own treatment wishes in a living will or to appoint a trusted person as a proxy. The right to self-determination reaches its limits where the patient demands medical measures for which there is no medical indication, which are prohibited by law or which contradict the physician's conscience. The latter applies to physician-assisted suicide, which is legally permissible but which physicians cannot be obliged to perform.
