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

Introduction: Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability in the world, with clinical manifestations and severe complications that they negatively affect the patient's recovery, contributing to an uncertain prognosis and difficult decisions with bioethical dilemmas such as artificial nutrition in the context of severe stroke. Presentation of the case: A 49-year-old patient with a Cerebrovascular Accident in a chronic vegetative state, tracheostomy, and gastrostomy user, admitted for infectious complications, whom, under therapeutic proportionality, the decision is made, shared by medical staff and family, to withdraw artificial nutrition. Conclusions: Difficult decision-making involves multiple challenges for both the health personnel and the patient and his or her environment. It must be guided by bioethical principles and proportionality in favor of the quality of life and the patient's benefit.
