Non-believer to Believer: A Podcast Conversation on the Journey from Skeptic to Proponent of Oncology Real-World Evidence.
Article in Oncology and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
The proliferation of modern real-world studies is a relatively recent development in oncology and has been met with skepticism by some clinicians. In this podcast, the hosts share their personal experiences with real-world evidence (RWE) and how they have come to be advocates for considering RWE as a supplement to randomized controlled trial (RCT) findings to help guide decision making in the clinic. They discuss the limitations of RCTs in capturing diverse patient populations and highlight the value of RWE in providing insights into underrepresented groups, such as patients with high Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status scores or cardiovascular comorbidities. While recognizing barriers to RWE acceptance, the hosts emphasize the growing profile of real-world studies and the need for clinicians to be aware of the data they are generating. Overall, the conversation aims to provide practical examples of the potential utility of RWE for enhancing care and outcomes for patients with cancer.Podcast and infographic available for this article.
