I'm Not the Doctor for You: Cognitive Bias, Complex Illness, and a Moral Imperative.
Article in Global advances in integrative medicine and health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cognitive Bias and the Treatment of Complex Illnesses: A Reflection on Substance Use Disorder and Long COVID. Physicians use anchoring and confirmation bias every day to make snap decisions about patient care. However, in the case of poorly understood complex illness, cognitive bias can lead to poor outcomes for the patient. This article explores how recognizing and overcoming cognitive bias leads to increased personal career satisfaction, and improved patient outcomes. In an era where health disparities are increasingly recognized, and in the post-COVID era in particular, there's a need to recognize cognitive bias against complex illnesses such as Long COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It may even be a moral imperative.
