Summary of Best Evidence for Lateral-Prone Surgical Position Management.
Article in Journal of patient safety, 2026. 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
objectiveTo evaluate and consolidate evidence related to the management of lateral-prone surgical positioning from national and international sources, aiming to provide an evidence-based foundation for clinical practice.
methodsUsing the "6S" evidence model, a comprehensive search was conducted in Chinese and English databases, guideline websites, and professional society websites. We included all relevant evidence concerning the management of lateral-prone surgical positioning: clinical practice guidelines, systematic reviews, evidence summaries, clinical decisions, expert consensus, and randomized clinical trials. Search records were included from the establishment of each database up to June 30, 2024. Two researchers with expertise in evidence-based nursing independently screened and assessed the quality of the search results.
resultsNine documents, consisting of 7 guidelines and 2 expert consensus documents, were included. In total, 28 pieces of evidence related to the management of lateral-prone surgical positioning were summarized. These address 6 key areas: prepositioning assessment, preparation of appropriate positioning equipment and supplies, teamwork, positioning, postpositioning checks, and intraoperative considerations.
conclusionThis study synthesizes the best evidence available related to the management of lateral-prone surgical positioning, thus providing an evidence-based foundation for surgical teams. Health care professionals should apply this evidence selectively, considering clinical contexts and physician preferences.
