Application of the healthcare failure mode and effects analysis system to reduce the incidence of posture syndrome of thyroid surgery.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
This study aimed to investigate the application of the healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) to reduce the incidence of posture syndrome of thyroid surgery (PSTS).Subjects before (n = 78, July 2017-December 2017) and after (n = 114, January 2018-June 2018) HFMEA implementation (The Second Hospital of Nanjing, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine) were selected. The training for PSTS was optimized using HFMEA.The occurrence of PSTS was reduced from 59% to 18% after HFMEA (P < .001). Symptoms of pain and nausea and vomiting were also decreased after HFMEA (all P < .001). The critical thinking ability of 34 medical personnel to evaluate the reduction of thyroid postoperative posture syndrome increased from 246 ± 19 to 301 ± 14 (P < .001) after HFMEA.HFMEA was used to create preoperative posture training procedures for PSTS, bedside cards for training, innovative preoperative posture training equipment, and a diversified preoperative posture training health education model.
