Multicenter study protocol on clinical, environmental, and economic outcomes of hybrid versus disposable surgical trays (project rEUsable).

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
Climate change threatens global health, while health care contributes significantly to emissions and waste. In the Netherlands, the sector produces 7% of national CO₂ emissions and 4% of waste. Operating rooms account for 20%-30% of hospital waste, mainly from disposable surgical trays. Reusable trays could reduce this impact, but adoption is hindered by financial and behavioral barriers. A system-wide switch could lower costs through scale effects, yet evidence on environmental and financial feasibility remains limited. This multicenter study compares the environmental impact and costs of hybrid (including
