Article in HEC forum : an interdisciplinary journal on hospitals' ethical and legal issues, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sometimes patients or their legally authorized representatives/surrogate decision makers request interventions that clinicians believe ought not to be provided because, for example, they will merely prolong the life of a patient whose quality of life clinicians deem poor. When such disagreements cannot be resolved, clinicians may request a clinical ethics consultation. Some institutions have policies and some jurisdictions have laws addressing such conflicts, many of which involve procedures that ultimately allow for unilaterally withholding life-sustaining interventions. Autumn Fiester has argued that a radically new approach for addressing such conflicts is needed. I argue that Fiester's analysis relates closely to and has implications for other debates and key topics in the bioethics literature and raises important questions that merit further exploration. These include the concept of professional values or professional ethics and of values imposition, both of which are important in the literature on conscientious objection.
