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

Abortion continues to be a highly contentious issue. This article provides an overview of the historical, ethical, and legal aspects of the abortion debate in Germany with a focus on the developments since the reunification. It delves into the background of the 1995 reform of the German abortion law, which centers around mandatory counseling before having an abortion. Furthermore, it outlines the implications of the medical indication for abortion and legal areas of tension. In light of the emerging shift in the status of abortion from a prohibited act under criminal law to a reproductive right, the article presents various legal viewpoints and practical considerations in the ongoing discussion.
