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

Digital pathology has grown dramatically in the last 10 years and has created opportunities to not only support the triaging of difficult cases among specialists within an organization, but also enable remote pathology consultations with external organizations across the world. This study investigated one organization's need for a vendor agnostic Digital Pathology Consultation workflow solution that overcomes the challenges associated with the transfer of large studies across a local area network or across the Internet. The organization investigated is a large multifacility healthcare organization that consists of 20 hospitals spread across a wide geographical area. The organization has one of the largest academic pathology departments in the USA, with more than 100 diagnostic anatomic pathologists. This organization developed a set of web-based tools to support the workflow of digital pathology consultations and allow the viewing of whole slide images. The challenges and practical implementations of two different use cases are addressed: the occasional end user (professional or patient) requesting a second opinion and the external laboratory or hospital looking for an established consultative relationship with a large volume of cases. The solution presented in this study addresses the challenges associated with the distribution of large images and the lack of established imaging standards, while providing for a convenient and secure portal for pathologist report entry and distribution.
