Digital tumour board solution enhances case preparation time and reduces postponements: an implementer report.
Observational study in BMJ health & care informatics, 2025. 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
objectiveInefficiencies and high administrative burdens are commonly reported in multidisciplinary tumour boards (TBs). The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of a digital solution on the common challenges encountered in the urogenital and gynaecology cancer TBs in Central Netherlands.
methodsA single-arm, mixed-methods observational study was conducted over 32 weeks in 2023. Data were collected from surveys and the Vitaly system across baseline and post implementation TB meetings.
resultsThe implementation of Vitaly resulted in a 43% reduction in preparation time for urology TBs and a 44% reduction for gynaecology TBs. Postponement rates decreased by nearly 50% for urology and maintained significantly below the 5% acceptable threshold, for both urology and gynaecology TBs. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsDespite challenges in data collection due to varied hospital environments, the study showed positive outcomes that underscore the potential benefits of such digital transformation and broader applicability and scalability across various clinical settings.
