Digital Footprints, Green Impact: User Engagement Analysis of a Conference Management Platform at the 41st Annual IFMSS Meeting.
Observational study in Fetal diagnosis and therapy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
<p>Introduction: International medical conferences face evolving challenges in optimizing scientific exchange and professional networking while minimizing their environmental footprint. Digital platforms offer solutions that can enhance engagement while reducing ecological impact. This study evaluated implementation outcomes of a custom digital platform at the 41st International Fetal Medicine & Surgery Society (IFMSS) meeting.
methodsWe conducted a prospective observational study of a custom mobile application platform deployed during IFMSS 2024 (September 22-28, 2024). The system incorporated authenticated user access, real-time session management, networking capabilities, and comprehensive analytics. Primary outcomes included user engagement metrics, scientific content interaction rates, professional networking efficacy, and platform stability.
resultsPlatform adoption reached 91.9% (339/369 registrants), generating 178,873 discrete interactions. Scientific content engagement included 56,344 abstract/presentation views by 335 unique users. Networking features facilitated 182 new professional connections and 485 direct message exchanges. Search functionality received 4,310 targeted queries, while speaker profiles were examined 780 times.
conclusionImplementation of a digital conference platform demonstrated significant efficacy in supporting conference objectives with high engagement rates. These findings suggest digital platforms can effectively enhance traditional conference structures, facilitate attendee engagement and interaction, reduce paper waste, and provide a more sustainable option for scientific exchange in subspecialty meetings. </p>.
