Improved Interobserver Reliability in Diagnosing and Staging Lesions of COVID-19 Between Radiologist and Emergency Medicine Physicians After an Online Course.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundChest radiographs are the most basic and readily available imaging modality for visualizing the lungs and are potentially useful for describing the disease severity in patients showing respiratory symptoms in COVID-19 patients. The early diagnosis of COVID-19 features on radiography helps in triaging and starting treatment. MATERIAL AND
methodsOur study consisted of 145 radiographs, and these were reported by two radiologists, two emergency physicians and one intern working in the Emergency department. The scores given by them were correlated. A targeted short lecture for the scoring was imparted and after a sufficient latent period the scoring of chest radiographs was done again, and the scores correlated and compared.
resultsWe observed agreement between radiologists with emergency medicine physicians was "none to slight" to "fair," before the dedicated online teaching course. Following the meeting, there was an increase in interobserver agreement in-between radiologists and between radiologists and emergency medicine physicians.
conclusionsWe propose a focused online meeting, targeted at explaining radiological features of a specific pathology, in a pandemic situation like COVID, to our clinical counterparts in the emergency medicine department can help in increasing their interpretation skills. This can directly benefit triaging, admission/discharge and monitoring of the status of patients, in intensive care units and emergency medicine. This also helps in allaying the anxiety, while waiting for a final report from the Radiologist.
