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

backgroundThe objective of this paper was to determine whether the medicolegal assessment of injured and disabled persons is based on the biopsychosocial model of disability proposed by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health.

methodsWe searched for the word disability and other keywords, occurring alone or in combination as well as the meaning given to the word "disability" in two Belgian legal databases (JURA and STRADALEX) for the period from 1960 to 2020.

resultsThe use of the term disability has increased over time, more so from 2001 to 2010, in areas of public health law, labor relations, and personal injury law. Cross-referencing keywords revealed that incapacity (personal, domestic, or professional) reflecting the victim's disability from a legal perspective appears to be dominated by the impairment criterion.

conclusionsAlthough the biopsychosocial model of disability appears to be widely accepted by courts, medical experts have made few changes to their methodology of assessing personal injuries. We identify four potential factors that could explain the status quo.
