Choosing Wisely recommendations in oncology: a scoping review.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 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
Choosing Wisely (CW) campaign addresses the global challenge of reducing waste in healthcare by discouraging unnecessary interventions, minimizing harm, and promoting evidence-based care. Barriers like limited awareness among healthcare professionals and the lack of global mapping of recommendations hinder its implementation. We conducted a comprehensive scoping review mapping the literature on CW recommendations in oncology from 2012 to 2024. A total of 220 recommendations were gathered from 19 studies and 20 recognized international websites. These recommendations explored the importance of personalizing screening, staging, and treatment based on individual risk factors, such as life expectancy and biomarker status. The findings suggest a global shift toward patient-centered oncology care, focusing on personalized, evidence-based treatments and minimizing unnecessary interventions. Developing recommendations based on resource-stratified guidelines is vital for improving the adoption of CW, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, as it ensures that recommendations are aligned with local healthcare needs and available resources.
