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

Medicine is a compound field composed of science and art. The (necessary) degree to which the latter is involved opens medicine, in particular, to the introduction of ideas which do not, by their very nature, submit to confirmation or confutation as do the various methods of traditional science. This paper explores several ways in which a Lysenkoistic ideology can be interjected into medicine changing the manner in which it interacts with both patients and society. Simply, when ideology supersedes evidence the edifice of Western Medicine comes under direct threat. The exploration of this emerging ideological transition in medicine, and science more broadly, is of critical importance to determine the most salutary path forward.
