Assessment of Radiation Oncology Participation in Interdisciplinary Education at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting and Pathways to Expand Involvement.

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
Purpose: Integration of radiation oncology (RO) content into the educational offerings of other cancer specialty societies may improve the use of radiation therapy in guidelines-concordant care. However, minimal data describes the extent to which this occurs. This retrospective study assessed RO participation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting education sessions. Methods and Materials: The 2021-2024 ASCO annual meeting program guides were used to collect speaker names and specialties for all "Educational" and "Case-Based Panel" session types. The annual meeting education committee rosters from these same years were used to collect the names and specialties of committee members and leaders for each track to determine whether RO committee membership was associated with RO participation as a speaker in an education session. Results: A total of 20% (n = 85/423) of education sessions included an RO speaker or moderator, comprising 6% of 1419 total speakers. RO participation was more common in Case-Based Panel sessions (n = 32/86, 37%) than in Educational sessions (n = 53/337, 16%). There was a decline in RO participation in Educational sessions from 22% in 2021 to 10% in 2024 ( Conclusions: Radiation oncologists are uncommon speakers at ASCO annual meeting sessions and have low and declining rates of involvement in planning committees. Volunteering to participate in planning committees and submitting Case-Based Panel proposals may be reasonable approaches for radiation oncologists to increase their involvement and improve interdisciplinary education among oncologists in other specialties.
