[Acute abdomen : What does the nonradiologist expect from the radiologist?]
Review in Der Radiologe, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe acute abdomen is a life-threatening condition that demands urgent intervention. The required diagnostics should address the core problem and has to be chosen based upon the diagnostic strength of each diagnostic tool. Modalities with limited discriminating information regarding differential diagnosis have to be avoided. Expectancy and thoughts of the radiologist often differ from the view of the clinician in the emergency department.
objectiveThe decision about which diagnostic tools are valuable or unnecessary in the emergency setting is made from a surgeon's point of view. Close communication with radiologists is mandatory. We demonstrate the importance of clinical signs and symptoms and their correlation with helpful radiologic diagnostics.
conclusionThe emergency radiologic diagnostic workup of acute abdomen has to be targeted and the radiologist must answer the questions in order to clarify whether an operation is indicated and to help define the surgical strategy. In emergency surgery as in acute abdomen extended diagnostics to reach a decision is a dangerous waste of time and must be avoided at all costs. Therefore close communication with the radiologist is crucial.
