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

Radiologists are an integral component in patient care and provide valuable information at multidisciplinary tumor boards. However, the radiologists' role at such meetings can be compromised by technical and workflow limitations, typically including the need for complex software such as picture archiving and communication system (PACS) applications which are difficult to install and manage in disparate locations with increasing security and network limitations. Our purpose was to develop a web-based system for easy retrieval of images and notes for presentation during multidisciplinary conferences and tumor boards. Our system allows images to be viewed from any computer with a web browser and does not require a stand-alone PACS software installation. The tool is launched by the radiologist marking the exam in PACS. It stores relevant text-based information in a MySQL server and is indexed to the conference for which it is to be used. The exams are then viewed through a web browser, via the hospital intranet or virtual private network (VPN). A web-based viewing platform, provided by our PACS vendor, is used for image display. In the 28 months following implementation, our web-based conference system was well-received by our radiologists and is now fully integrated into daily practice. Our method streamlines radiologist workflow in preparing and presenting medical imaging at multidisciplinary conferences and overcomes many previous technical obstacles. In addition to its primary role for interdepartmental conferences, our system also functions as a teaching file, fostering radiologist education within our department.
