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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Surgical safety checklists (SSCs) are vital tools for improving patient outcomes during surgical procedures. Despite their proven effectiveness, the adoption and implementation of SSCs vary across healthcare institutions, particularly in diverse settings like Bihar, India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital, Muzaffarpur, Bihar, involving 250 healthcare professionals, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nursing staff. A structured questionnaire assessed their KAP related to SSCs. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and ANOVA. Results: Healthcare professionals exhibited positive attitudes toward SSCs, with 81% recognizing their role in improving surgical outcomes. However, knowledge gaps were evident, particularly regarding SSC components and timing. While 71% reported completing SSCs before surgery, 55% were involved in SSC updates, and 20% occasionally skipped SSC steps due to time constraints. Barriers included lack of time (42%), insufficient training (32%), lack of staff engagement (22%), and inadequate resources (27%). Participants recommended regular SSC training (91%), better integration into workflow (83%), enhanced team communication (81%), and increased staff involvement in updates (74%) as key strategies for improvement. Conclusion: This study provides insights into the KAP of healthcare professionals regarding SSCs in Bihar, India. While positive attitudes prevail, knowledge gaps and practical challenges exist. Addressing barriers and implementing suggested strategies can enhance SSC usage, ultimately improving surgical safety and patient care.
