Extraction, analysis and presentation of results in a scoping review in Brazilian nursing: scoping review

to map the literature on extraction, analysis, and presentation of results in scoping reviews in Brazilian nursing.

scoping review according to the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, including publications, in the following sources: PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Google Scholar. The search was structured in three stages and conducted by two independent reviewers.

one hundred and forty-three studies were included; the annual number increased from one (2013) to 41 (2023). In the title, 90.2% stated "scoping review"; 74.1% followed the JBI framework, but only 60.8% cited PRISMA-ScR, and 39.2% registered a protocol. Extraction remained largely manual: 82.5% used adapted JBI forms, and only 11.9% used support software. Descriptive summaries and thematic categorization predominated. Presentation favored charts and tables (96%).

Nursing scoping reviews in Brazil use standardized procedures, but lack greater adherence to PRISMA-ScR, prior registration, and digital technologies. Training in international guidelines, AI, and interactive visualizations are priorities to increase transparency, reproducibility, and clinical impact.
