About this Infographic

Emerging evidence indicates that real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, pending validation in prospective studies. From a workflow perspective, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, and this trend is expected to continue.

Contrary to earlier assumptions, integrating quantitative measures reduces subjective bias, although confirmatory data are still limited. From a workflow perspective, training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, although confirmatory data are still limited. In multidisciplinary settings, variability between operators remains a key limitation, and this trend is expected to continue.

Contrary to earlier assumptions, standardized reporting improves comparability between centers, as discussed in the accompanying commentary. When protocols are compared, variability between operators remains a key limitation, a finding echoed by several independent groups. In routine practice, pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, a finding echoed by several independent groups. Contrary to earlier assumptions, pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, a finding echoed by several independent groups.

Emerging evidence indicates that digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, and this trend is expected to continue. From a workflow perspective, pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, with meaningful differences between subgroups. From a workflow perspective, digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, which has direct implications for daily practice. Emerging evidence indicates that cost considerations continue to shape adoption in smaller units, which has direct implications for daily practice.

According to consensus recommendations, digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, a finding echoed by several independent groups. Emerging evidence indicates that real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, which has direct implications for daily practice.
