Figure 1

Publication rates over time for oncology abstracts presented at select AAOS, CTOS, and MSTS annual meetings are shown in (a). The publication rates over time are also shown for individual AAOS (b), CTOS (c), and MSTS (d) meetings. Time to publication was calculated as the interval from the first day of the meeting to online publication. Abstracts published prior to the first day of the meeting are depicted by the origin of each line on the y-axis. AAOS indicates the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons; CTOS, Connective Tissue Oncology Society; MSTS, Musculoskeletal Tumor Society.
