The radiological report... and then what?
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2011. 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
The radiology report has always been considered as "the most important step in the clinical radiological act". While agreeing with this concept, the author emphasises that the report can in no way replace the duty to communicate with the patient, as mentioned in Art. 31, Italian Code of Medical Ethics. Italy aside, this issue has been thoroughly investigated and debated abroad since the 1970s and, in the past as well as more recently, many interesting contributions have been published both on the need for verbal communication, particularly in certain settings, and on the best manner to approach this task. A recent book published in Italy also provides useful advice in this regard. The author hopes that in Italy, as in other countries, an extensive debate will give rise to a fuller awareness of the issue, thereby providing a range of shared solutions.
