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

backgroundIn the German healthcare system and thus also in the field of urology, economic conditions are becoming increasingly relevant and, in addition, digital applications are becoming more widely used.

objectivesHealth economic analysis of the framework of digitalization in the German healthcare system and selected areas of application in urology.

methodsAnalysis of the report of the German Advisory Council for the development of healthcare. Conduction of a systematic literature analysis on the use of structured reporting and analysis of selected literature on telemedical applications in urology from a health economic point of view.

resultsThe German Advisory Council for the development of healthcare identifies the regulation and complexity of the German healthcare system as well as the handling of data protection and data security as key obstacles to digitalization. The use of structured reporting can increase the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of reporting in urology. In terms of costs, significant savings can be realized with increasing digitalization in medicine.

conclusionsFrom a medical and health economic perspective, there is a need for further development in the framework for digital applications in the German healthcare system with regard to information security and data protection. With the appropriate use of digital applications such as structured reporting and telemedicine, optimal conditions can be established for the increasing use of artificial intelligence in the field of urology.
