Exploring the Landscape of Operating Room Scheduling: A Bibliometric Analysis of Recent Advancements and Future Prospects.
Review in Biomedical engineering and computational biology, 2025. 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
Background: Operating Room Scheduling (ORS) is vital in healthcare management, impacting patient outcomes, economics, and the shift to value-based care. The academic literature offers various solutions with distinct pros and cons. Aim: This study aims to (i) outline ORS challenges across surgical specialties; (ii) examine ORS's impact on healthcare goals, focusing on patient outcomes, value-based care, and economics; (iii) assess academic solutions' real-world applicability; and (iv) conduct a bibliometric analysis to track ORS research progression, pivotal works, and future directions. Methods: We performed a comprehensive bibliometric analysis using Scopus data. Biblioshiny from Bibliometrix aided data mining and analysis, spanning 2000 to 2023, tracking publication trends, themes, co-occurrence, and co-citation networks. Results: ORS publications steadily rose, notably post-2013, led by developed nations like the UK, Australia, the US, France, and Germany. Key themes included operating rooms, surgery, and humans. Seven primary research routes emerged, covering Surgery Duration, Allocation, Advanced Scheduling Integration, and Patient Flow Optimization. Citation analysis highlighted heuristic algorithms and integer programing as central ORS themes. Conclusion: This study offers a panoramic ORS overview, advocating an integrated approach aligning patient outcomes, economics, and value-based care. Bibliometric analysis charts ORS research evolution guides future research, and holds significance for practitioners, policymakers, and academics, enhancing ORS paradigms and healthcare delivery.
