Applied research on the design of protective clothing based on the Kano-QFD-PUGH method.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In order to improve the user experience of protective clothing for healthcare workers and reduce the design blindness and subjectivity of developers, we propose a research methodology that combines the Kano model, QFD quality function deployment, and PUGH decision-making scheme to develop conceptual solutions for medical protective clothing design. Firstly, we use the Kano model to identify the user requirements of healthcare workers and construct a hierarchy of functional requirements for protective clothing. Secondly, we use the QFD method to weigh the protective clothing design elements, convert user requirements into design elements, establish a relationship matrix between user requirements and design elements, and generate four conceptual design solutions based on the results. Finally, we use the PUGH decision-making method to filter and select the best concept solution for protective clothing design, and validate the design evaluation. Our results show that the protective clothing solutions designed using the combined Kano-QFD-PUGH system approach have a higher level of satisfaction compared to traditional protective clothing design. This method accurately explores the mapping relationship between user requirements and design functional elements and can be used as a general reliability design method. It helps to improve the development efficiency of designers and the decision-making role for design concept solution preference. Overall, our research methodology provides a comprehensive approach to developing medical protective clothing, which can be useful for designers and decision-makers in the healthcare industry.
