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

Background: The evolution of radiological technology is one of the most remarkable events of modern medical technology. Radiological examination has resulted in non-invasive, individual diagnostic imaging, which has contributed significantly to successful medical treatment of patients. Key Concepts: This review summarizes past and current Japanese educational systems for radiological technologists with a historical perspective focusing on three periods. The first period begins with Roentgen's discovery of X-rays (1895), the second period begins with the establishment of the Radiological X-ray Technologist Act (1951), and the third period begins with the launch of the first university course for radiological technologists (1987). It is conceivable that those periods are in accordance with the technological paradigm shifts, including the development of contrast radiography and the application of CT and MRI to clinical practice. To maintain awareness of the most recent available technologies and maximize safety, educational programs teaching the latest knowledge were offered during each period. Conclusions: The advanced technologies require highly skilled radiological technologists and highly established educational systems. At present, over 70% of Japanese educational programs for radiological technologists are university courses leading to a bachelor's degree. The increasing globalization of radiological technology requires future radiological education systems to have a global perspective.
