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

Digital Pathology or whole slide imaging (WSI) is a diagnostic evaluation technique that produces digital images of high quality from tissue fragments. These images are formed on glass slides and evaluated by pathologist with the aid of microscope. As the concept of digital pathology is introduced, these high quality images are digitized and produced on-screen whole slide images in the form of digital files. This has paved the way for pathologists to collaborate with other pathology professionals in case of any additional recommendations and also provides remote working opportunities. The application of digital pathology in clinical practice is glazed with several advantages and adopted by pathologists and researchers for clinical, educational and research purposes. Moreover, digital pathology system integration requires an intensive effort from multiple stakeholders. All pathology departments have different needs, case usage, and blueprints, even though the framework elements and variables for effective clinical integration can be applied to any institution aiming for digital transformation. This article reviews the background and developmental phases of digital pathology and its application in clinical services, educational and research activities.
