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: Digital transformation (DT) involves introducing digital technologies into business models in all areas. This research aimed to evaluate the level of implementation of DT using the digital health indicator in private radiology centers in Lima, Perú. Material and Methods: Forty-five randomly selected radiology centers included in a database of 50 registered centers were evaluated. The inclusion criteria were having a web domain and institutional email address. They were digitally surveyed using a digital survey (HIMSS DHI Rapid) measuring four dimensions: interoperability, governance and workforce, predictive analytics, and person-enabled health. These indicators allowed determination of the digital transformation level of a radiological company. The level of implementation was measured quantitatively on a scale from 0 to 400, and the Kruskal Wallis test (p>0.05) was used to compare DT according to the geographical location of the centers. Results: The digital health indicator obtained was 60.24 ± 43.14 out of 400 achievable points. The dimensional analysis in terms of interoperability was 24 ± 18.09, followed by governance and workforce at 23.44 ± 18.58, person-enabled health at 18.73 ± 15.63, and finally, predictive analysis at 16.18 ± 13.51. No significant differences were found in health indicator dimensions according to the geographical location ( Conclusions: DT in maxillofacial radiology centers in Lima is at an initial level. Radiology centers should take this situation into account to have relevant information for making diagnostic and treatment decisions and to provide better preventive health policies to benefit the population.
