Impact of Teleradiology on Oncological Interpretation of PET-CT Scans.
Article in Indian journal of nuclear medicine : IJNM : the official journal of the Society of Nuclear Medicine, India. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Cancer is a prime cause of death globally and accounted for about 10 million deaths in 2020. The accurate determination of the extent of disease is crucial for treatment conceptualization and planning. The aim of the present study was to assess the role of teleradiology in the oncological interpretation of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scans. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 1137 PET-CT scans of a cohort of 1057 patients from hospitals in India, the US and Nepal were uploaded to the teleradiology cloud server and interpreted by board certified radiologists empanelled by a teleradiology service provider. Results: The telehealth model proposed in the study was seen to provide timely and quality reporting of all PET- CT studies with a mean turnaround time of 20.06 h 95% confidence interval (19.35-20.78). Conclusion: The early-stage diagnosis of cancer before it has progressed or metastasized is crucial for the immediate treatment conceptualization and plan and improves the prognosis for long-term survival of the patient. Teleradiology is an important tool in the field of oncology, providing rapid and accurate interpretation of imaging findings, essential for appropriate treatment planning.
