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

Ethics in qualitative social research has particular features that distinguish it from the model formulated in the Global North for the health sciences, which is characterized by a universalist, quantitative, clinical approach and a limited critical perspective on its role in power relations. In Latin American social anthropology-similarly to other social sciences-there are few institutionalized collective discussions about how ethics is being understood, excluded, and practiced in research processes. In this essay, I examine these issues in the Latin American context, along with some academic and community-based responses. I analyze key dimensions such as risk/benefit, social value, informed consent, confidentiality, validity of results, and the ethics proposed by communities themselves to protect against researchers. I also draw on two institutional experiences in which I participated, raising questions and possibilities through examples from the fields of anthropology and health.
