Evolving and Improving the Sustainability of Molecular Tumor Boards: The Value and Challenges.
Guideline in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The increasing volume of information for cancer care, and the evolution of molecularly guided therapies, have increased the need for molecular tumor boards (MTBs), which can integrate such data into personalized treatment plans to improve patient outcomes. However, recommendations for improving the sustainability of MTBs are lacking. A diverse committee of MTB experts was assembled (February-March 2023), with extensive experience in sustainability in healthcare ecosystems. The aim was to identify MTB-related hurdles throughout the patient journey and develop a general framework for MTBs to operate on larger scales locally, nationally, and internationally. The committee identified ten key pillars for sustainable and scalable MTBs, including technical solutions for data integration and visualization, interoperability, learning loops, clinical trial access, legal considerations, criteria for patient testing, decision standardization, making MTBs official bodies for treatment decisions, local leaders, and international networks. The need for scalable frameworks at academic and community levels was recognized, along with integrating MTBs into national health systems to enhance sustainability and ensure optimal treatment decisions. Irrespective of the health ecosystem, the sustainability and scalability of MTBs are essential. Our framework provides guidelines to address this and to help MTBs evolve towards integrated, essential components of the oncology healthcare system.
