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

Lévinas and Derrida speak of the ontological context of human relationships in the context of the absolute priority of the Other and the unconditional law of hospitality. This has direct implications for doctor-patient relationships in the context of health care. This paper explores these philosophical and practical implications in light of a paradox that exists in all hospitality: that hostility is inevitably intertwined with hospitality. The paper explores three ways hostility can present in doctor-patient relationships: in physical violence, through paternalism, and through the violence of categorisation. While acknowledging the paradox, and the complexity of solutions, the paper considers ways to minimize this hostility. In so doing, it encourages HCPs to overcome whatever is possible so as to do the impossible: provide unconditional hospitality.
