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.
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
backgroundPeople with epilepsy were a stigmatized and persecuted group under National Socialism. Nevertheless, there are only a few historical works that specifically address the reality of life for this group in Nazi Germany.
objectiveIn the sense of a heuristic pioneer study, the reality of life of in-patients with epilepsy in a selected institution is systematically researched and presented. MATERIAL AND
methodsNumerous patient files from the Bonn sanatorium (Heil- und Pflege-Anstalt Bonn) were analyzed using the historical-critical method. Some of these files contain letters and other testimonies from the patients. This study concentrates on these ego documents and on letters from relatives.
resultsWhile coping with everyday life was central to the patients, some relatives were more concerned with the question of the hereditary nature of the epilepsy; others, who wanted to help their hospitalized relatives were increasingly unable to do so after 1939.
conclusionOnly an overall view of all types of sources in medical records (medical history forms, nursing reports, ego documents and letters from relatives), which has so far often been neglected, enables an approximate understanding of the situation of hospitalized patients with epilepsy during the National Socialist era and the post-war period.
