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

In Singapore, there are plans to release radiological reports to patients directly, potentially before their physician clinic visits. While several studies have researched this policy in Caucasian-majority populations, there is scarce data for Asian-majority populations. This study aims to understand the perceptions of releasing radiological reports directly to patients before their clinic visit, by surveying physicians and patients at a major tertiary hospital in Singapore. Voluntary surveys were fielded to English-proficient patients who presented for select cross-sectional imaging, as well as physicians working at the hospital between March and July 2024. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's χ
