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

A 92-year-old woman diagnosed with dementia and end-stage gastric cancer received end-of-life care on the island where she lived. Informed consent concerning remote death certification based on the Japanese government's guidelines was obtained from a family member in case a physician was unavailable. A physical examination after cardiopulmonary arrest was conducted, supported by telemedicine and a well-trained registered nurse under remote supervision of the physician who last saw the deceased directly. Death certification was provided accordingly. To our knowledge, this was the first case of remote death certification using telemedicine in Japan.
