Optimal Care Pathways for People with Lung Cancer- a Scoping Review of the Literature.
Article in International journal of integrated care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionMuch of the existing work around implementation of cancer optimal care pathways (OCP) has either focused exclusively on the clinical elements of care or has targeted individual stages in the cancer trajectory, rather than using a patient-centred or service delivery lens to inform the integration of care across the continuum. This review aimed to identify and summarise the available literature on lung cancer OCP.
methodsA scoping review was conducted, with literature across multiple databases and grey literature searched. Articles were included if the OCP was being used to manage adult patients with lung cancer and reported on either the development process and outcomes and/or barriers and facilitators associated with optimal care pathway development and/or uptake.
resultsOf the 381 references screened, 32 articles were included. The lung cancer pathways reviewed varied significantly. A number of themes were identified including the development and implementation of the OCP; the use of quality indicators to audit the OCP; and studies on outcomes of the OCP incorporating timeliness of care delivery, patient experiences and health care utilisation and costs.
conclusionsThe limited number of relevant articles found in this review may suggest that an OCP for lung cancer is still in its preliminary stages across the broader health systems.
