Responsive Equanimity to Uncertainty: Towards the Construction of a Concept for Handling Medical Uncertainty in Clinical Practice.
Article in Health care analysis : HCA : journal of health philosophy and policy, 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
The objective of this study is to elaborate an overall concept of addressing uncertainty in clinical practice that covers a series of specific characteristics. To do so, a conceptual engineering approach has been applied, starting with describing the concepts that exist and are in use. Based on this description the functional quality of these concepts (representational devices) is evaluated and a series of criteria for an improved concept is developed. Four alternatives, each with special merits, are presented, suitable for different context, i.e., bearing the burdens of uncertainty, mindful adaptability, compassionate resilience, and responsive equanimity. Among these, responsive equanimity emerges as the most robust generic concept, meeting the majority of criteria at a general level. These results are open for debate and revision before implementation and evaluation.
