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 noticeable decline in the number of autopsies performed in recent years requires investigation into the causes of the phenomenon and attempts to prevent it. One potential cause of this trend is fear of disfiguring the body. Carrying out autopsies using a minimally invasive method may reduce the decrease in the number of autopsies performed. The first work on the development of the method and its continuation gave promising results. This allows us to start a discussion on attempts to introduce the method. The solution seems especially justified when the alternative is to completely abandon post-mortem examinations using the traditional method. Laparoscopy and thoracoscopy are tools that allow for accurate imaging and analysis of organ changes. Enriching them with additional tests using endoscopic techniques may have a positive impact on the accuracy of autopsy diagnoses. The development of a clear protocol for minimally invasive post-mortem diagnosis requires further research to determine the accuracy of the method.
