Medication Management of Patients With Cancer Undergoing Surgery From Preadmission to Discharge: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of advanced nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
AIM(S): To identify and synthesise available evidence about regular medication management processes, from preadmission to discharge from hospital, in patients with cancer undergoing surgery.
designMixed-methods systematic review.
methodsStudies published from inception of each database until February 2023 were screened, utilising four main search concepts. The JBI methodology for mixed-methods systematic review was followed in this review. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, APA PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science.
resultsEight out of 717 screened studies were included. Two themes related to patients' medication management were identified. Preoperative factors such as polypharmacy, potentially inappropriate medications, delirium-inducing medications and preoperative discontinuation-requiring medications were associated with several postoperative complications in patients with cancer. Additionally, pharmacist-led interventions and collaborative efforts between nurses and patients were shown to improve the medication management process across the perioperative pathway.
conclusionThis systematic review emphasises the necessity of effectively managing regular medication, especially before surgery, to mitigate postoperative complications in patients with cancer. It offers critical insights into how involving pharmacists and nurses enhances medication management outcomes, benefiting health care professionals and institutions aiming to optimise perioperative medication therapy. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Enhancing patients' regular medication management through comprehensive reviews before surgery, and improving collaborative practices among pharmacists, nurses and patients via targeted interventions introduced by health care organisations, ensure safe medication use throughout the perioperative pathway. IMPACT: Improving regular medication management process can reduce risk of medication errors and adverse drug events and enhance postoperative outcomes. REPORTING
