[Ad hoc ethical decision-making in clinical acute and emergency medicine : Position paper of the Ethics Section of the German Interdisciplinary Association of Critical Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI) in collaboration with the Ethics Section of the German Society of Medical Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DGIIN)].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Decisions with considerable medical and ethical implications are made in emergency departments every day. Despite time pressure and high workloads, they have to be arrived at in an expert manner in all dimensions. For immediate ethical decisions, structuring the decision-making process in the form of standard procedures can be helpful, provided that they are trained and practiced in an interdisciplinary and interprofessional manner. The support for ad hoc ethical decisions presented here recommends an "ethical team time out" for the evaluation of treatment choices, in a framework where the patient's will and medical indication are examined and completed in a structured manner. Further experts (ideally, an ad hoc clinical ethics consultation) should be consulted if the treatment measure is of questionable medical benefit and/or of questionable patient consent.
