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

Hubris in contemporary medicine is less an individual failing than a structural condition produced by professional privilege, institutional incentives, and global asymmetries of power. This Perspective argues that modern health systems mistake technical competence for epistemic completeness, fueling iatrogenic harm and algorithmic inequity. We propose disciplined humility and structural reflexivity as operational principles, translated into concrete practices across clinical, global health, and AI contexts.
