1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: To develop a consensus-based EU-wide Core Measure Set (CMS), including patient-reported measures, for evaluating perioperative patient safety in routine adult care. Methods: A four-phase approach was applied: 1) identification of candidate structure, process, and outcome measures through three literature reviews; 2) synthesis into an initial list via deduplication and merging; 3) consensus process using a two-round modified eDelphi technique, with subject-matter and lived-experienced experts rating the importance and feasibility of each measure (consensus: ≥75% rating 7-9, ≤15% rating 1-3), followed by an online Consensus Conference addressing measures highly valued by patients but lacking feasibility consensus; 4) refinement of the CMS for patient safety in perioperative care (CMS-PSPC). Results: Out of 9,717 records identified, 340 studies were included, yielding 1,305 measures. After refinement, 247 measures were consolidated; 84 reached consensus, and ten more were added via the Consensus Conference. The final CMS-PSPC comprised 76 measures: 22 outcome, 18 process, and 36 structure measures. Conclusion: The CMS-PSPC provides a standardised, patient-centred framework for evaluating, monitoring and benchmarking perioperative patient safety in routine clinical care, supporting EU-wide quality improvement efforts.
