Streamlining urology cancer multidisciplinary team meetings: Implementation and outcomes.
Article in BJUI compass, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: This work aimed to evaluate the implementation and impact of a pre-multidisciplinary team (MDT) triage model using Standards of Care (SoC) for streamlining in a urology cancer service. Materials and Methods: An SoC framework was developed by the cancer lead in line with national guidance. Using this, the Urology MDT at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust (DGT) introduced a pre-MDT triage model. Each week, a consultant urologist, clinical nurse specialist, and MDT coordinator reviewed referrals and allocated them for either full MDT discussion or protocolised management. Data were collected over 50 weeks, including meeting duration, case numbers, plan changes, and a clinician survey. Results: Average MDT duration reduced from 158 to 135 min ( Conclusion: The initiative enhanced MDT efficiency, maintained oversight, and strengthened clinician confidence in protocolised care pathways. Challenges remain, including reliance on a single consultant for triage and occasional gaps in the availability of radiology or histopathology reports, which may affect sustainability. Overall, these findings support wider adoption of pre-MDT streamlining in cancer services.
