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

Driving a car up a steep incline and the radiator overheats; the water is sizzling and bubbling; one had to stop and at the risk of severe scalding, loosen the stopper of the radiator, and release the steam. One always carried water to cool off the radiator. This is what we had to do with overheated cars 50 years ago. Today, radiators do not boil and bubble, and cars go up steep inclines with ease. Technology has solved the problem. In yesteryears, urgent messages could be transmitted via telegrams to people who did not have phones. Telegrams were received at post offices, where they were printed and home-delivered. Today, the telegram is obsolete, and the mobile phone has become a sensory appendage, an essential means of receiving and sending all kinds of messages, in most parts of the world.
