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

purposeTo assess whether the modified reading system "Triage Reader" (TR) can improve the radiological reading work environment. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective, single-center study analyzed two reading systems for 26,786 computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations. In the conventional system (January 1-May 31, 2016), all reading work was mostly completed within the day. In the TR system (January 1-May 31, 2017), a radiology resident (TR) first read every image immediately after the examination and tagged each examination according to actual image findings and clinical demands. Routine reading work was finished when all high-priority cases were completed. Low-priority cases were assessed the following day.

resultsWhen using the TR system, the mean reading number in the evening decreased (P = 0.009). The mean elapsed time to finalize report of case with actual urgent image finding shortened from 4.26 to 1.97 h (P < 0.0001). The mean number of cases experienced per resident increased from 5.4 to 28.7 (P < 0.001). Subjective evaluation revealed a significant improvement in "Reading efficiency" and "Contribution to clinical practice."

conclusionIntroduction of the TR system can improve the reading efficiency and quality, educational effect among residents by increasing the number of experienced cases and work satisfaction.
