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

purposeThis study assessed the impact of the navify Tumor Board digital tool on multidisciplinary team tumor boards' (MDTs) efficiency, comparing its streamlined workflow and preparation to conventional, time-consuming methods.

methodsThis prospective observational study (January-June 2021) compared MDT phase durations (preparation, discussion, follow-up) using the navify Tumor Board platform versus conventional methods for integrated patient data management and decision-making.

resultsThe navify Tumor Board significantly improved MDT efficiency across all phases compared to conventional methods. In the preparation phase, it reduced the time needed for cancer staging imaging checks and sending meeting materials by 8.62% (

conclusionsThis study showed that the navify Tumor Board tool can significantly improve the efficiency of MDT workflows in Taiwan.
