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: The quality of perioperative care is closely linked to postoperative recovery. The level of care in low- and middle-income countries hinders the pace and quality of postoperative recovery. It is essential to understand the perioperative situation and needs of local hospitals to target the development of localized professional training programs, thereby enhancing the professionalism of nursing staff in providing high-quality care to patients. Objective: To study issues related to the quality of perioperative nursing in hospitals in Lao and improve the threshold of holistic care. Methods: Qualitative and quantitative studies were used to design the training program. In total, 25 nurses from a hospital were selected between December 2024 and May 2025. A survey was conducted to understand issues with the targeted construction of training programs and their implementation, evaluation, and continuous supervision. A comparative analysis of operation scores and the competence level of each nurse before and after the training was conducted to evaluate the training's effectiveness. Results: A total of 11 aspects were identified using the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice model. In total, 30 theoretical and 12 operational training topics were designed, and a training strategy was developed to enhance the quality of perioperative care, based on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data. A STEP-CARE model was designed to ensure overall quality improvement and training effects. Hand hygiene compliance, accuracy, and performance were also improved. Conclusion: The study recommends using knowledge, attitudes, and actions as starting points for continuous quality improvement. Training qualified professionals, improving institutional processes, strengthening disciplinary collaboration, and improving facilities are imperative to enhance the overall outcome.
