Evidence-based medicine and precision medicine: Complementary approaches to clinical decision-making.
Article in Precision clinical medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Evidence-based medicine is widely promoted for decision-making in health care and is associated with improved patient outcomes. Critics have suggested that evidence-based medicine focuses primarily on groups of patients rather than individuals, but often fail to consider subgroup analyses, N-of-1 trials, and the incorporation of patient values and preferences. Precision medicine has been promoted as an approach to individualize diagnosis and treatment of diseases through genetic, biomarker, phenotypic, and psychosocial characteristics. However, there are often high costs associated with personalized medicine, and high-quality evidence is lacking for effectiveness in many applications. For the potential of personalized medicine to be realized, it must adhere to the principles of evidence-based medicine: (1) evidence in isolation is not sufficient to make clinical decisions-patient's values and preferences as well as resource implications must be considered, and (2) there is a hierarchy of evidence to guide clinical decision-making and studies at lower risk of bias are likely to provide more trustworthy findings.
