Association between changes in patient discussion at the MDT-level and changes in patient referral at the MDT-level during the intervention phase. Scatter points represent the MDT-specific RRs for referral (y-axis) and discussion (x-axis) within 4 months after prostatectomy as reported in Additional file 1: Tables S2 and S3. Numbers adjacent to the scatter points represent control:intervention percentages of patients discussed (left of scatter points) and referred (right of scatter points) within 4 months after prostatectomy. Scatter point sizes are proportional to numbers of patients. Solid line represents the predicted RRs for referral derived from regression model which effectively weights observations for Site sample size (patients); p = 0.001 for test of slope = 0
