Outpatient chemotherapy planning and decision making: a systematic review.
Review in Health systems (Basingstoke, England), 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
Outpatient chemotherapy is experiencing increased demand while available resources are limited and costly. It is important to have efficient planning for outpatient chemotherapy to optimize the utilization of resources while maintaining the optimal quality of care services. This paper provides a comprehensive review of research studies on outpatient chemotherapy planning (OCP) and decision making. A total of 1,262 articles were retrieved from the most prominent databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct) and other resources, 99 of which passed the inclusion criteria and were included in this study for analysis. A bibliometric analysis was subsequently conducted with a comprehensive classification of studies based on several predefined criteria that included decision level, problem scope, performance metrics and objectives, complexity factors, methodology, and solution methods. The papers are reviewed in structured categories to provide a detailed overview of this field and highlight the areas that need to be focused on, and the gaps and limitations are summarized. Finally, future research trends on OCP and several promising lines of research that are worthy of study in the future are identified and discussed.
