Guidance for Specialised Cancer Nursing of People With Gynaecological Cancers: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of clinical nursing, 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
backgroundGynaecological cancer nurses are crucial to the delivery of quality, specialised care to meet the needs of people with these cancers. The extent of evidence-based guidance to support nursing care is unknown.
aimTo identify and describe existing international guidance for specialised gynaecological cancer nursing care.
designScoping review.
methodsThis scoping review utilised the participants, concept, context framework with narrative synthesis. DATA SOURCES: Databases including MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL Ultimate (EBSCO), Proquest Central (Alumni) and Google Scholar were searched on 4 April 2025 along with relevant websites and reference lists of included sources. Included sources referred to the nurse's role and provided clinical guidelines, practice recommendations or equivalent guidance on how nurses provide specialised care. Sources were limited to those published in English from 2009 to present.
resultsOf 1905 sources identified, 12 met the inclusion criteria. Sources were published by authors in seven countries between 2014 and 2024. Most sources related to one specific gynaecological cancer type and/or one aspect or time point of care. Sources varied in the volume of nurse relevant content. No individual source provided comprehensive nursing guidance across all gynaecological cancer types.
conclusionsInternationally published guidance for specialised gynaecological cancer nursing presents gaps in available evidence for care. We recommend comprehensive guidance resource development to meet clinical nurses' needs and improve translation of evidence-based nursing practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: The current lack of comprehensive published guidance for specialised gynaecological cancer nursing does not meet reported needs of nurses working in clinical practice and may be contributing to variation in nursing care delivery.
