Medical Equipment Planning in Ambulatory Surgery Centers: Enhancing Efficiency, Innovation, and Patient Care.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Medical equipment planning plays a pivotal role in the success and sustainability of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), where streamlined operations and high-quality patient care are essential. This article explores the strategic process of equipment planning, highlighting its critical phases: procurement, design integration, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. By aligning clinical needs with operational goals, effective planning ensures the selection and placement of technology that enhances workflow, reduces downtime, and complies with regulatory standards. The integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), building information modeling (BIM), and predictive maintenance tools is also discussed, emphasizing their role in promoting innovation and long-term sustainability. Additionally, the importance of vendor relationships, staff training, and life cycle management is underscored as key drivers of performance and cost-efficiency. Overall, comprehensive equipment planning in ambulatory surgery centers supports improved patient outcomes, operational resilience, and adaptability in an evolving healthcare landscape.
