Enhancing Cancer Care through Blockchain Technology.
Review in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2025. 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
This review examines the potential of blockchain technology to improve cancer treatment infrastructure by addressing inefficiencies in current IT systems. It suggests that blockchain can resolve interoperability issues, enhance data quality, and improve communication among healthcare stakeholders. By utilizing blockchain's decentralization, transparency, and security features, a blockchain-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) system can enable real-time data sharing, improve patient care coordination, and build trust within the cancer care continuum. The review also discusses the scalability of blockchain solutions, which is essential for accommodating various healthcare providers, facilitating seamless information exchange, and ensuring continuity of care. Additionally, it highlights blockchain's ability to bolster clinical research by providing a secure, immutable ledger for data collection, potentially speeding up the approval of new therapies. Ethical considerations related to patient consent and data ownership are addressed, emphasizing the importance of empowering patients to control their health information. Furthermore, blockchain integration can streamline billing and insurance processes, alleviating administrative burdens on healthcare providers. Ultimately, the review emphasizes that incorporating blockchain technology into cancer treatment infrastructure is vital for creating a more efficient, integrated, and patient-centered healthcare system, addressing current challenges in cancer care while promoting collaboration, enhancing data integrity, and empowering patients.
