The orange shaded areas represent the potential cost savings associated with avoided injections that might be realised with a hypothetical new treatment while the blue shaded area represents the potential number of necessary injections that would go unadministered due to a capacity ceiling, which could in turn be extrapolated to a deficit in patient outcomes. Numbers underlying example based roughly on actual and forecasted number of injections in a UK tertiary hospital setting as presented in ref. [9].
