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

Informed consent laws allow patients to decide what happens to their bodies within a medical setting, but medical practices within academic teaching hospitals do not always live up to ethical standards or align with the values and wishes of clinicians, patients, and families. Bioethics often helps to resolve these conflicts through collaboration and dialogue. However, when conflicts persist and are resistant to change, it may be necessary to pursue regulatory or legislative solutions. This paper discusses the role of bioethics in strengthening federal regulations on explicit consent for sensitive (pelvic, prostate, rectal, and breast) exams. Since psychologists within academic health centers may also wish to influence policy, this paper concludes with practical, achievable guidance for psychologists to gain an understanding of the public policymaking process, develop relationships with policymakers, and take steps to exert influence on the policymaking process.
