Quantitative Evaluation of PACS Query/Retrieve Capabilities.
Article in Journal of digital imaging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) market is heterogenous with dozens of PACS providers having deployed installations in healthcare facilities. The DICOM® query and retrieve interfaces provided by PACS have multiple variations, related to the implemented SOP (Service Object Pair) Classes, transfer syntaxes, extended negotiations, matching attributes, and matching types. These variations can make integration of a new DICOM® consumer with a PACS complex and time consuming. Even if most of PACS products provide a DICOM® conformance statement with a description of its query/retrieve capabilities, there is no collective analysis describing the various PACS query and retrieve capabilities and variations. Also, application developers and healthcare facilities lack a method to evaluate the PACS capabilities and classify its functionalities. GE designed a method to evaluate the PACS capabilities in terms of query retrieve functionalities. Our aim is to analyze several PACS in test and production environments, using our method to provide the DICOM® object consumers a macroscopic knowledge of query/retrieve capabilities of PACS functionalities and its different variations. Our evaluation can also be used by PACS and VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive) developers to evaluate their query/retrieve capabilities, for quality improvement purpose.
