Optimising Complex Surgical Trays Based on PDSA Cycles.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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
Objective: To investigate the application of a multidisciplinary collaboration model to optimise the configuration management of orthopaedic external device sets in general hospitals. Methods: A pretest-post-test study design was used. Sixty patients who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty and 60 patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion between March and May 2022 were recruited as the control stage. Additionally, a total of 120 patients, 60 of each, who underwent the two procedures between September and November 2022, were recruited as the experimental stage. For the control stage, conventional external equipment management was used, and for the experimental stage, an external device management programme was implemented based on multidisciplinary collaboration with the control stage. Based on the PDSA cycle, the configuration management of orthopaedic external device sets was optimised, and the differences in collating and counting external devices, nurses' overtime in the external device stage and orthopaedic surgeon satisfaction were compared between the two stages. Results: Compared with the control stage, the collation count took less time (8.65 ± 0.25 min vs 5.37 ± 0.13 min; 13.55 ± 1.10 min vs 7.85 ± 0.82 min), the number of overtime hours was shorter (175.80 ± 12.19 min vs 96.68 ± 13.66 min) and orthopaedic surgeon satisfaction was improved (4.58 ± 0.62 vs 4.10 ± 0.68; 4.33 ± 0.73 vs 3.87 ± 0.77; 4.20 ± 0.71 vs 3.82 ± 0.71; 4.12 ± 0.69 vs 3.87 ± 0.72; 4.05 ± 0.68 vs 3.79 ± 0.68) in the experimental stage (all Conclusion: Multidisciplinary collaboration offers various benefits for optimising the configuration of external device sets, such as reducing the time taken for the preoperative sorting and counting of external devices, enhancing nurses' work efficiency and improving surgeons' job satisfaction; therefore, it is worthy of reference in clinical practice.
