Association of doctor-patient assistants on surgical efficiency and healthcare quality in gynecological ambulatory surgery: A retrospective study.
Article in Medicine, 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
This study aimed to explore the association between the implementation of doctor-patient assistants (DPA) and surgical efficiency as well as healthcare quality in gynecological ambulatory surgery. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 157 patients undergoing gynecological ambulatory surgeries at Qinghai Red Cross Hospital between January 2024 and January 2025. The control group (n = 89) received conventional management, while the study group (n = 68) was managed with involvement of DPAs. Surgical efficiency, patients' negative emotions, nursing quality scores, surgery cancelation rates, and patient satisfaction were evaluated. The study group showed a higher rate of complete preoperative preparation, shorter patient transfer time, reduced waiting time for the first surgery case, and shorter intervals between consecutive surgeries (P < .05). Negative emotion scores were significantly lower in the study group (P < .05). Nursing quality scores were higher in the study group (P < .05). The surgery cancelation rate was lower in the study group (P < .05). Patient satisfaction scores were significantly higher in the study group (P < .05). In this retrospective study, the involvement of DPA in gynecological ambulatory surgery workflows was associated with enhanced surgical efficiency and improved healthcare quality.
