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

The European Federation of Internal Medicine (EFIM) was founded in 1996 by merging the Association Européenne de Médecine Interne and the Forum of Presidents of National Internal Medicine Societies in Europe, creating a unified platform for continental collaboration among national societies. Today, EFIM represents 48 societies from 45 countries-over 70,000 internists-making it one of Europe's largest medical federations. Its mission is to promote internal medicine scientifically, ethically, and professionally, centered on education, research, and advancement through research publication, congresses, internist communication, and health expertise. This article examines the present and future of internal medicine in light of EFIM's new policy, "Internal Medicine in the 21st Century: Back to the Future." It offers a critical appraisal of current challenges alongside strengths and opportunities. Internal medicine represents a cornerstone of future hospitals and healthcare systems rather than a residual specialty. Strengthening and standardizing training and granting internists formal leadership in care coordination and education will ensure sustainable, person-centered healthcare.
