[Existential suffering and autonomy: Contributions to the debates on euthanasia and medically assisted suicide in Argentina].
Article in Salud colectiva, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This article arises from the need to critically reflect on the subjective experience of those who request euthanasia, as well as on the ethical tensions between the conceptual clarity required by legal regulation and the specific, unquantifiable dimensions of human experience linked to suffering and fragility. In this sense, this essay seeks to contribute to current debates on the topic through the conceptual tools offered by moral philosophy, particularly Charles Taylor's analyses of the construction of the self and Paul Ricoeur's reflections on the notion of autonomy. Taking as a point of departure the draft bills presented in Argentina between 2021 and 2024 to regulate euthanasia and medically assisted suicide, we draw on the contributions of these authors to critically examine two issues we consider ethically and legally significant for such proposals: (1) existential suffering as grounds for requesting euthanasia, and (2) the intersection between autonomy and fragility as defining horizons of the subject of rights.
