Effects of a management team training intervention on the compliance with a surgical site infection bundle: a before-after study in operating theatres in the Netherlands.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. 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
objectivesTo assess the effects of a quality improvement (QI) team training intervention, by measuring the intervention fidelity and the compliance with a surgical site infection (SSI) bundle in the operating theatre (OT).
designMulticentre before-after study.
settingThis study was performed in four Dutch hospitals.
interventionThe QI team training intervention consisted of four sessions per hospital and stimulated participants to set culture norms and targets, identify barriers, and formulate management activities to improve compliance with four standard operating procedures (SOPs) of a SSI bundle in the OT. Participants were executive board members, top-level managers, leading clinicians and support staff. The four SOPs were: (1) reducing door movements; (2) preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis prescribing; (3) preoperative shaving; and (4) postoperative normothermia.
resultsNot all management layers were successfully involved during all sessions in the hospitals. Top-level managers were best represented in all hospitals, leading clinicians the least. The number of implemented improvement activities was low, ranging between 2 and 14. The team training intervention we developed was not associated with improvements in the compliance with the four SOP of the SSI bundle. Medical specialty, time of day, and time in OT were associated with median number of door movements, and preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis administration.
conclusionThis study showed that after the QI team training intervention the overall compliance with the four SOPs did not improve. Minimal involvement of leading clinicians and a low number of self-initiated activities after the team training were important barriers for compliance.
