Barriers to Voice Behavior in Online and Hybrid Multidisciplinary Team Meetings: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 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
rationaleGuidelines for the treatment of a variety of diseases and medical conditions increasingly call for decision-making by a multidisciplinary team, which typically takes place during multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs). However, studies examining in-person MDTMs show that the decision-making processes during such meetings often fall short of optimal performance due to participants refraining from exercising voice behavior-denoting the communicative act of sharing one's perspectives, suggestions, and concerns related to the patient's diagnosis and treatment options with fellow participants. The expanding digitalization and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to an increase in online and hybrid meetings, potentially introducing new obstacles to participants' voice behavior. AIMS AND
objectivesThe present paper aims to explore the challenges encountered by participants of online and hybrid MDTMs in exercising their voice behavior.
methodsObservations of neuro-oncology MDTMs in two Dutch hospitals and interviews with chairpersons and participants of the observed MDTMs.
resultsRespondents encountered difficulties in expressing their perspectives, ideas, and concerns during online and hybrid meetings, which could be attributed to (1) the absence of non-verbal cues, (2) technological deficiencies, (3) a personal lack of focus, (4) suboptimal layout of the meeting room, and (5) challenges in building relationships with other attendees.
conclusionsObstacles to voice behavior in MDTMs are multifaceted, with specific barriers inherent to online and hybrid meetings that are not present in in-person meetings.
