Multimodal tele-epileptology: Challenges on the way to interoperable medical data.
Article in Clinical neurophysiology practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To realize multi-modal data exchange for telemedicine in epilepsy. Methods: TE Ruhr is a multicenter, prospective pilot study. Primary endpoint of the study was the technical implementation of a platform between an epilepsy center and regional neurological departments and international cooperating epilepsy centers, respectively. A multi-professional board was established to develop technical workflows. After completion of the study a survey was conducted among users of the regional arm. Results: Two workflows were developed, 1) a combination of web-application and use of an established teleradiology network, and 2) a web-application only data exchange. Technical workflow 1 comprised local EEG conversion into to a standard format (.besa) and its shipping as DICOM RAW object. Technically, both workflows could be implemented. Yet, workflow 1 was not realisable in peripheral hospitals. Via workflow 2, 149 consults for 144 patients were completed. Users of the regional arm were satisfied (1.6 on a grading scale of 1-6 (1-very good, 6- very bad)). Conclusion: Technical feasibility alone does not determine the actual use of telemedicine. Web applications enables multimodal data exchange, but usability is limited due to lack of interoperability. Significance: Genuine interoperability of medical data remains the desired goal for multi modal data exchange.
