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

Different disciplinary and socio-geographical approaches to counting, reporting, and categorizing death can yield divergent and often contradictory values of risk, harm, and mortality. This article examines historical and contemporary ways of recording and narrating the incidence of female homicide in South Africa (one of the countries with the highest femicide rates in the world), from state and police statistics to medical studies and media reports, and explores how each of these uses both common and discrete necrodata to construct specific narratives that reveal the [dead] body as a site of conflicting assertions of power.
