Application of FOCUS-PDCA cycle in enhancing the standardization of emergency collaboration among thoracic surgery nurses.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
To explore the effectiveness of the FOCUS-PDCA (Find, Organize, Clarify, Understand, Select, Plan, Do, Check, Act) management cycle in improving the standardization of emergency collaboration among thoracic surgery nurses. Forty nurses from two thoracic surgery wards at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital were selected as study subjects. The FOCUS-PDCA cycle was implemented to conduct mixed-mode emergency training, and the standardization scores of nursing operations, job competency self-assessment, and emergency collaboration before and after implementation were compared. After the implementation of FOCUS-PDCA, the assessment scores of nursing operations such as defibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, suction, tracheal intubation cooperation, and the use of nasal high-flow humidification therapy devices, as well as self-assessment scores of job competency and emergency collaboration standardization, were higher than those before the implementation (p < 0.05). The implementation of FOCUS-PDCA helps improve the standardization of emergency collaboration among thoracic surgery nurses. It should be appropriately carried out according to the department's situation to promote continuous improvement in nursing quality and emergency response levels.
