Mapping Implementation Strategies to Address Barriers to Commission on Cancer's Accreditation Standards in Breast Surgery.
Article in Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 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
backgroundThe Commission on Cancer (CoC) introduced synoptic operative reports (SOR) as accreditation standards to increase adherence to cancer surgical standards. Due to large variations in implementation of past CoC accreditation standards, we used a theory-informed method to identify optimal implementation strategies for SOR integration. STUDY
designUsing the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we conducted semi-structured interviews from December 2021-May 2022 focused on implementing the breast SOR with 31 stakeholders sampled from 4 CoC sites. Implementation barriers were mapped to theory-informed strategies using the validated CFIR-Expert Recommendations for Implementation Change (ERIC) matching tool. Using the "name it, define it, specify it" method for describing implementation strategies, actions, actors, and action targets were specified for each correlating ERIC cluster and strategy.
resultsParticipants included 10 surgeons, 4 cancer liaison physicians, 11 cancer program administrators, and 6 IT engineers. Strategies addressing the most common barriers were 1) determining readiness to implement the SOR; 2) identifying champions to promote the SOR; and 3) having stakeholder discussions to highlight the importance of templated documentation and determine whether the SOR will adequately address this. The common themes across the top strategies were workflow changes, developing an actionable plan, engaging champions, and leveraging champion relationships with other surgeons. Training and educating stakeholders was not a key recommended strategy in our study.
conclusionOur study demonstrated that assessment of workflow changes along with local champions and their relationship with surgeons were the most important strategies for successful SOR implementation. Programs may benefit from utilizing these strategies for future SOR implementation and CoC initiatives.
