Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07396675 (Improving Postoperative Debriefings), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

backgroundSurgical safety checklists reduce adverse events, but monitoring adherence to checklists is confounded by observation bias. The ORBB platform can monitor checklist compliance and correlate compliance with outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the association between checklist compliance and patient outcomes using the ORBB platform.

methodsThis is a retrospective analysis of data from the electronic medical record of cases performed in ORBB-equipped operating rooms at a single quaternary referral center. All patients who did not opt out and underwent surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center in ORBB-equipped rooms from August 2020 to September 2022 were included. The ORBB platform was set-up in five operating rooms and surgical safety checklist compliance was monitored by way of AI-based video review.

resultsOverall, 4581 patients were included in this analysis.

conclusionProcedures performed by surgical teams who performed better on the surgical safety checklist tended to have better outcomes. This innovative technology could substantially enhance our ability to understand and mitigate threats to patients in real-time.
