THE ABSOLUTE EFFECT
Oncology evidence atlas

The Absolute Effect

From relative effects to real patients.

A clinician-facing atlas that translates clinical-trial results into absolute benefit, harm, NNT/NNH and patient-level visualizations.

The framework

Every evidence entry should answer the same clinical question.

01 · Relative effect

HR, RR, OR or another relative measure, exactly as reported.

02 · Absolute effect

Absolute difference at a defined time point or clinically meaningful unit.

03 · Patients

What does this mean if we treat 100 people? NNT/NNH when appropriate.

Statistical guardrail: an HR is not itself an absolute risk reduction. Survival differences and NNT must be tied to a time horizon and baseline risk; where appropriate, the database can later support RMST and other absolute measures.

The Absolute Effect is a clinician-facing evidence atlas designed to move beyond statistical significance and relative measures toward quantities that are easier to interpret at the bedside.

Evidence database

Currently there is 1 evidence entry. The data model is deliberately editable so we can add trials one at a time later.
