Fair Consent Transactions and Ethical Pluralism.
Article in The Journal of medicine and philosophy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
According to the fair transaction view, consent is morally powerful when it occurs in the context of a larger consent transaction that is fair, rather than when one's consent is valid. This fair transaction view represents a novel approach to the ethics of consent and puts pressure on the standard focus on valid consent. If correct, the fair transaction model promises to alter our understanding of when consent in medicine matters morally. In this paper, I examine the prospects for the fair transaction view. I raise both good and bad news for the theory. On the one hand, I show this new approach to consent captures something important when it says that we ought to weigh a number of competing demands fairly. Yet on the other, I argue that this insight is better explained by the larger moral system of ethical pluralism.
