Insights Into the Assessment of WHO-Recommended Practices Based on Surgical Operations in Tertiary Healthcare Settings.

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
backgroundThe protection of surgical safety comprises two major elements that produce the best outcomes for patients. The World Health Organization (WHO) created a surgical practice-based assessment for operative procedure-related risks. Medical professionals have proven the effectiveness of this checklist to eliminate both adverse outcomes and medical complications caused by surgical negligence. METHODOLOGY: A study was conducted on 250 surgeries (major and minor) in a tertiary healthcare setting based on a qualitative questionnaire, adapted from the WHO checklist, operated through Google Forms. The examination spanned three months from September to November 2024. In accordance with WHO guidelines, the three surgical safety checklist phases - sign-in, time-out, and sign-out - were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY).
resultsThe sign-out phase achieved the highest level of adherence, with 220 (88%) of surgical procedures using the checklist. The sign-in phase demonstrated 200 compliant cases (80%), whereas the time-out phase showed the lowest compliance, with only 170 cases (68%). Patient consent procedures, along with anesthesia protocols, instrument sterilization methods, and team member introduction protocols, all maintained complete success rates for ensuring a safe surgical space.
conclusionsImplementing targeted awareness programs and training will help boost compliance rates with the WHO checklist, despite the current positive results.
