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 efficacy of pharmacotherapy is limited by the occurrence of adverse drug reactions and the interactions between several drugs in polypharmacy, which are difficult to predict. Taking into account the complex mode of action of drugs, including their specific profiles of side effects, high demands are placed on the medical information with respect to a proper and complete clarification of the risks and alternative information under the precept of patient-oriented comprehensibility; however, these requirements can hardly ever be fulfilled in everyday medical practice. This article discusses the practical limitations of the information provided prior to the initiation and monitoring of drug therapy on the basis of selected current case law. In particular, the potential for conflict between the Patients' Rights Act and the so-called right to non-knowledge is highlighted.
