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

Medical documentation is one of the primary methods by which physicians share clinical information and impressions over time with one another. As the adage says, "a picture is worth a thousand words," and physicians have started leveraging consumer mobile technology to share images with one another. However, image sharing often uses short message service texting and similar methods, which can be noncompliant with privacy regulations and can also limit the ability to communicate information longitudinally and across specialties. Sharing of such information is increasingly important, however, as smaller practices are joining to create large geographically spread out health care networks. To this end, we developed an application to acquire and store images via smartphone and seamlessly transfer into the patient's electronic medical record (EMR) to enable digital consults and longitudinal evaluation in a private and compliant method.
