[Teleradiological report turnaround times: An internal efficiency and quality control analysis].
Article in Der Radiologe, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
aimsThe teleradiological examinations performed at the Charité were analyzed for the purpose of internal quality and efficiency control. Data included the type and number of examinations performed, the time of day and week the examination was performed and the differences in teleradiologist report turnaround times. MATERIAL AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of the radiology information system (RIS) database of all teleradiological computed tomography examinations performed at the Charité from 2011 through 2013 was carried out. The search retrieved 10,200 teleradiological examinations which were included in the analysis. The records were analyzed for the time of the day and week the examination was performed, the interval between examination and time of reporting, the type of teleradiological examination and the campus in which they were performed.
resultsThe number of teleradiological examinations performed increased continuously during the observation period. Computed tomography of the head was the most frequently performed type of examination with 86%. Taking all forms of examination into consideration it took an average of 34 min until a report was written. Over the 3-year observation period the times remained virtually unaltered.
conclusionDuring the 3-year observation period nearly constant report times could be observed in spite of the increased numbers of examinations. This indicates an efficiency enhancement and rational integration of teleradiology into the radiological workflow.
