From Publication to Presentation: Making scientific evidence clear, accurate, and easy to share

Scientific publications are the backbone of evidence-based medicine. They capture years of research, rigorous analysis, and peer-reviewed validation. However, when those findings need to be shared—at a congress, in an MSL discussion, during a launch review, or with internal leadership—the information needs to move from manuscript-style documentation to presentation-ready slides. 

Dense manuscripts must be transformed into clear visual narratives. Tables, figures, and supplementary data must be interpreted, contextualized, and presented accurately. Citations must remain intact, and the story must adapt to different audiences without compromising scientific integrity.

This is where the work becomes hard. Not because the science is unclear, but because translating publications into presentations is a manual, time-intensive, and high-risk process.

Let’s look at how Prezent supports publication-to-presentation in real-world scenarios‍

Why publication-to-presentation is uniquely challenging

Turning a publication into a presentation is not just a formatting task. Scientific teams deal with:

• Dense manuscripts with many tables, figures, and endpoints
• Multiple publications condensed into a single presentation
• Strict accuracy and compliance requirements
• Different audiences need different level of details
• Short timelines around congresses, launches, and reviews

Most of the effort goes into rebuilding the science into slides, rather than discussing what the data actually means. Prezent is designed to reduce that effort, without changing the science itself.

How Prezent supports publication-to-presentation workflows

Prezent is built to address the gap between scientific evidence and scientific communication. It does not replace scientific judgment. It removes the manual work that slows it down.

Depending on urgency, complexity, and the level of control required, teams use Prezent in the following ways: 

1. Creating structured scientific presentations directly from publications with Auto-Generator

‍Auto Generator supports scientific teams by turning structured instructions into presentation-ready scientific narratives. The process follows a clear sequence that mirrors how scientists already think about building presentations—only without the manual work.

Step 1: Upload & Prompt

Scientific teams begin by uploading the source material they are already working with, such as research publications, journal articles, congress abstracts, or summaries. These documents become the scientific context for presentation creation.

Prompt auto-generator with specific details like the exact page numbers, tables, or figures, request specific chart types, and define the number and sequence of slides. For example, a prompt may ask to generate a ten-slide presentation or to visualize data from a specific table on a particular page. 

Step 2: Auto-generate draft

Once the prompt is submitted, the system:

• Extracts data from the referenced sections
• Builds a logical, story-driven slide flow
• Generates charts, visuals, and speaker notes
• Preserves citations and references

Within seconds, teams receive a fully editable PowerPoint draft, not a static export.

Step 3: Iterate and refine

After the draft is generated, teams review and refine it. They can:

• Adjust slide content and layout
• Switch chart types or visuals
• Modify storyline and tone
• Tailor the presentation for different audiences such as KOLs, HCPs, MSLs, regulatory teams, or internal leadership

Because the presentation is editable, teams can iterate without rebuilding slides or re-extracting data.

2. Use proven, brand-ready scientific slides from the Slide Library

Not every scenario calls for generation. Often, teams already know what story they need to tell—the challenge is starting from a blank slide or rebuilding layouts that already exist elsewhere.

Prezent’s Slide Library solves this by giving teams immediate access to proven best practice slides.
The library includes 35,000+ professionally designed, brand-ready slides, built specifically for life sciences and scientific communication. These are not generic templates. They are structured around common scientific use cases.

Teams can search for slides based on intent, such as:

Each slide provides a clear structure with placeholders for data and text. Teams simply replace those placeholders with their own content. This approach:

• Eliminates the blank-slide problem
• Reduces time spent deciding how a slide should look
• Improves consistency across teams and regions
• Helps scientific teams focus on content, not formatting

3. Overnight Presentations: High-quality scientific decks, delivered overnight

Congress deadlines, advisory boards, MSL training, and leadership meetings often require fast turnarounds without room for multiple iterations. For these situations, Prezent offers Overnight Presentations.

Teams submit existing slides that may be dense, cluttered, or difficult to follow. Prezent’s experts then:

• Reorganize content into a clear narrative flow
• Visualize data through charts, curves, and tables
• Ensure the data is presented accurately and clearly
• Return presentation-ready slides by the next day

4. Presentation Engineers: One-on-one support for complex scientific storytelling

Some scientific narratives need more than tools. They require experience, judgment, and collaboration, especially when the data is complex or the audience is high-stakes.

Prezent provides one-on-one access to Presentation Engineers trained in scientific storytelling, medical data visualization, and regulatory considerations. Teams can work with Presentation Engineers on:

• Structuring complex scientific narratives
• Improving clarity of charts, curves, and diagrams
• Refining slide language and flow
• Preparing for leadership reviews, workshops, or external meetings & more

Your data never leaves your control

Prezent operates under strict data security standards that meet life sciences compliance requirements. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Customer data is never used to train AI models. Tight AI guardrails and independent third-party assurance, including GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and CCPA- ensure audit-ready infrastructure for regulated environments.

To see how Prezent fits into your publication-to-presentation workflow, you can request a demo with our team or try it directly using a real study or dataset. Your research already carries meaning. Prezent helps ensure it is communicated clearly, consistently, and without delay.
