Medication Management Using Technology-Based Interventions in Older People at Home Care Settings: Protocol for a Scoping Review.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Older adults with complex care needs and polypharmacy are at risk of experiencing medication-related problems such as administration errors and adverse drug events. These problems lead to increased use of emergency care and hospital admissions. Technology-based interventions have been introduced to address some of these problems. This review aims to establish key concepts and address the gaps in the evidence base to improve the use of technology-based interventions and reduce medication management-associated problems in home care settings. Objective: This scoping review aims to understand the extent and type of evidence regarding the management of medications for older people in home care settings using technology-based interventions. Methods: The review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. The published studies will be searched through MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, IEEE Xplore, and ACM digital library, and the unpublished studies through the EBSCO Open Dissertations database. Studies published in all languages will be considered. A broad scope of evidence, including quantitative, qualitative, text, and opinion studies, will be considered. This review will include studies of older adults (aged 60 years or older) living in home care settings and receiving formal or informal social care support for medication management. Studies that focus on the application of the technology for medication management will be included. The titles and abstracts will be reviewed initially for relevance, and then, the full text will be reviewed for in-depth analysis. The results of the search and inclusion process will be presented in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) flow diagram. Data will be extracted from the included studies using a data extraction tool developed for this study. Results: A draft charting table will be developed as a data extraction tool. Results will be presented in a graph, diagram, or table, accompanied by a narrative summary. Conclusions: This review will identify and synthesize evidence associated with applying technology-based medication management interventions to older people in home care settings and the strategies to overcome those identified challenges. This review will identify knowledge gaps, clarify concepts, and make recommendations for future research on technology-based medication management interventions.
