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 involvement of physicians as an executive tool in the excesses of medical experimentation in prisons continues to raise questions and incomprehension. From the depths of the extermination camps under the Nazi regime to the iterative exploitation scandals after the Second World War, the ability of certain physicians to overstep the foundations of the Hippocratic Oath of «do no harm» and associate themselves with so many atrocities will always surprise. The answers to this question seem ambiguous because the excesses of medical experimentation in prisons should be reconsidered in their associated historical-political context. This history note, the second in a series on medical experimentation in prisons, aims to relieve the excesses attributed to physicians during medical experimentation on prisoners.
