Nursing Workload in Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy Day Units: A Scoping Review and Gap Analysis.
Article in Nursing & health sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This scoping review aims to identify, summarize, and compare evidence from studies examining nursing workload in Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) day units. The search included from January 2000 to 2025. Electronic databases, including MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE (Elsevier), ASSIA (ProQuest), Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Global Index Medicus (WHO), were selected. A simplified search strategy was applied across platforms such as Open Gray, Google Scholar, Scopus, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, and OAIster.20 studies were included in this review; among these, 16 studies were single centre. The studies were categorized into patient dependency workload (acuity tools, regimen-based patient dependency, and patient-based assessment) and nursing time workload. This review identified a significant gap in the literature, as the included studies largely failed to address non-patient-related care. It also highlighted that the complexity of SACT treatments influences nursing workload beyond patient numbers. This review underscores the distinct nature of nursing workload in SACT day units, the complexity and specialized nature of care required in SACT day units, and it highlights the need for refined workload measurement tools.
