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

In 1894, the Germanisches National Museum in Nuremberg acquired an instrument resembling a leg harness. Stiff legs could be bent or stretched with it by means of lateral threads. Judging by the etched decoration, it comes from the collection of Elector August of Saxony (1526-1586). A comparison with contemporary leg harness reveals that the piece was originally made as an orthopaedic instrument. It completed the collection of surgical instruments in Dresden. Presumably, the plate harness was a technological condition for such orthoses and prostheses in many characteristics.
