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

Radiological requests are vital communicative tools by Physicians to Radiologists. Improperly filled radiological requests are frequently encountered in our practices as radiologists; a trend which can negatively impact patient care. A properly filled request will prevent unwarranted radiation exposures and improve service delivery by Radiology departments. This article amply expresses our practice experiences (not unique to our centre alone) as they relate to poorly filled radiological investigation requests and the practical approach we have developed and adopted over time which has been quite helpful in addressing this age-long problem.
