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

backgroundTelepathology enables remote diagnostic consultation through digital image transmission and is particularly valuable in settings where subspecialty expertise is not immediately available. This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of PathoZoom

methodsSeventy-five consecutive frozen section cases, processed between January and April 2024 at the University Hospital Trust of Modena/UNIMORE, were included. All cases were first diagnosed using conventional light microscopy (LM) and then, after a washout period, the same slides were reviewed remotely using the PathoZoom

resultsOverall concordance was 96% (72/75 cases). One major discordance occurred in a basal cell carcinoma margin assessment, interpreted as negative by telepathology and positive by LM. Two minor discrepancies involved polymorphonuclear cell counts in orthopedic specimens. No differences in performance were observed between mobile devices.

conclusionsThanks to the technological setting and results, PathoZoom
