Mapping Pathology Work Associated With Precision Oncology Testing.

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: Management of precision oncology testing imposes a substantial burden on pathology departments. As the number of tests continue to grow, developing more efficient processes will become even more important. Observations: A consult process for anatomic pathology molecular testing offers a way to maximize efficiency. While use of such a consult has been reported, detailed descriptions of the steps involved to facilitate adoption and adaptation at prospective sites is lacking. This article describes a consult process that was implemented at the Kansas City Veterans Affairs Medical Center in 2021. Areas of inefficiency are identified and a target process map is presented. Conclusions: The proposed consult process increases test utilization, ensures appropriateness of orders, standardizes reporting, and improves efficiency. Laboratory understaffing and growing demand for testing necessitate more efficient processes for pathology to manage the workload and maintain the highest quality of cancer care.
