Medication Discrepancy-Related Medication Safety Incidents in Surgical Patients: A Register Study Based on Medication Safety Incident Reports.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Surgical patients are at high risk of experiencing medication errors, particularly those related to the lack of accurate medication history. This study aimed to determine the number and the nature of reported medication safety incidents in surgical patients in a Finnish University Hospital. Methods: In this retrospective study, the medication safety incidents ( Results: There was a total of 902 incidents. Of these, 70.6% were classified as patient involved incidents and 29.4% near misses. The most common incidents were administration errors (45.8%, Conclusion: Medication discrepancy-related incidents accounted for approximately 39% of the medication safety incidents reported from the surgical units. Improving adherence to electronic medication list protocols, communication among care personnel, and clarity of professional responsibilities may support medication safety in surgical care.
