Investigating the application value of the "Forward-Deployed Position" model in operating room support by the central sterile supply department.

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 investigate the application effects of the "Forward-Deployed Position" model in operating room support provided by the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD).
methodsThis study employed a historical control design. Data from the period when the "Forward-Deployed Position" model was implemented in our hospital in 2024 were set as the observation group, while data from 2023 under the traditional model served as the control group. The two groups were compared regarding indicators including the instrument re-cleaning rate, packaging qualification rate, clinical department satisfaction, and on-time start rate for the first scheduled surgery of the day.
resultsCompared with the control group, the observation group demonstrated a significant increase in the packaging qualification rate (99.05% vs 98.05%), clinical department satisfaction, and the on-time start rate for the first scheduled surgery (95.05% vs 85.63%), alongside a significant decrease in the instrument re-cleaning rate (0.37% vs 1.05%). All these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
conclusionProvided that implementation conditions such as human resources are fully considered, the "Forward-Deployed Position" model can effectively enhance the work quality of the CSSD and the efficiency of surgical support. Its successful implementation relies on a specialized team and sustained inter-departmental collaboration, offering a valuable reference for optimizing surgical workflow management.
