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

Considered the father of surgery, Ambroise Paré was a French military surgeon who creatively improvised and used various surgical instruments during his era. He believed in the principle of evidence-based medicine to treat his patients. He advocated for ligature instead of cauterization in surgeries. He left an incredible mark in the fields of modern anatomy, surgery, neurosciences, and neurotrauma. His legacy is unparalleled and his innovations unmatched in the field of surgery to date. He died peacefully at the age of 80 years at his residence in Paris. The continued reference to date of Paré's techniques, which are now more improvised with time, is a testament to his "thinking way ahead of his times" innovations. His patient-centric approach to relieving the pain and suffering of the injured remains the legacy of this superhuman.
