Current usage and challenges of master protocols-based on survey results by ASA BIOP oncology methodology working group master protocol sub-team.
Trial report in Annals of translational medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Master protocol trials, such as basket trials, umbrella trials or platform trials, have the potential of increasing efficiency in modern drug development. Meanwhile, though the concept of master protocol is getting more and more accepted, many challenges exist from design to implementation of these trials. To understand current usage and challenges of master protocol trials in action, American Statistical Association (ASA) Biopharmaceutical Section (BIOP) Oncology Methods Scientific Working Group Master Protocol Sub-team conducted a survey with the goal of providing valuable information for the community to understand the current usage of master protocol, with the goal to identify the challenges. Methods: A total of 19 questions were included in an online survey that was distributed between April and May 2021. To avoid over-reporting within an organization, a pre-determined list of contacts from 37 organizations were reached out with the shared online link of the survey. Literature research and experience from the working group on challenges of master protocols are also summarized and discussed extensively. Results: A total of 39 responses were received from 37 organizations. Thirty-one (79%) respondents indicated that they had trials with master protocol(s) in planning or implementation in their organization with most applications (54%) in oncology. Self-reported challenges on trial design, regulatory engagement and trial implementations were further summarized in the report. Conclusions: The survey results were consistent with previous literatures and expectations of members from the Scientific Working Group Sub-team. Multiple stakeholders are called to work collaboratively to remove roadblocks for future usage of master protocol trials.
