Review in Der Pathologe, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundThe "Digital Pathology in Diagnostics - Assessment of Digital Images" guideline describes the technical and legal framework under which the use of this digital technology is justifiable for the individual pathologist. The focus is on conducting a validation study, defining minimum requirements for the generation and management of whole slide images, and ensuring the functionality and quality of the virtual microscopy solution used. By establishing a special web-based service, supportive services can be provided to assist the pathologist in the introduction of virtual microscopy and quality assurance.

aimPresentation of the Digitale-Pathologie.de server and description of its services in the context of the guideline. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: In the context of several scanner contests at the Charité in Berlin, as well as with the introduction of virtual microscopy in practice, many experiences were collected, which will be presented systematically. Essentially, this will provide support for the application of the guideline in practice. The following fields are discussed: implementation of the guideline recommendations, planning and evaluation of the validation study, and ensuring the correct color calibration of the slide scanner being used. Via the Digitale-Pathologie.de server, the possibility for self-monitoring and anonymously benchmarking will be offered. For example, errors in setup can be detected quickly and optimal settings can be identified.
