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

Doctoral dissertations in medicine provide precise insights into the state of knowledge and research methodology at a particular time. In contrast to more canonised textbook texts, dissertations often present scientific discourses and different views in a more detailed and therefore more comprehensible manner. This makes them relevant sources for tracing and analysing the development of the specialist field, but they are often not a focus of research into the history of science, partly due to insufficient documentation. In the context of a research project on dissertation culture in urology, this article uses the example of the Dorpat surgeon Georg Adelmann to analyse the embedding of an early dissertation on endourology in the contemporary research debate.
