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 health sector pioneered the dialog with society, the media, health professionals and decision-makers, due to great public interest in this area and its social responsibility. Two internationally prestigious journals with two centuries of history (The New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet) are examples of communication strategies that extend beyond the walls of academia. This article analyzes the editorial policies, commemorative editorials and communication strategies of these two journals in order to understand their relationship with the public throughout history. This analysis shows that communication to non-experts is an important part of editorial policies, and has expanded over the years in both journals.
