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

Background: Traditional quality measurement systems in operating rooms often fail to capture the interdependence among medical equipment performance, operational efficiency, and staff effectiveness. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies may strengthen quality-monitoring frameworks when they are embedded within clearly defined operational protocols and human workflow support. Objective: To develop and preliminarily evaluate an artificial intelligence-enhanced three-dimensional integrated quality model for quality-sensitive indicators that integrates real-time equipment monitoring, predictive analytics, and staff performance metrics within an operating room (OR) quality-management intervention. Methods: A prospective single-center study was conducted at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China ( Results: Implementation of the integrated AI-enhanced model was associated with significant improvements across measured domains. Equipment downtime decreased by 37.1% (mean decrease 4.6 events/month, 95% CI: 3.8-5.4, Cohen's d = 1.52, raw and FDR-adjusted Conclusion: The AI-enhanced three-dimensional integrated quality model may offer a structured framework for comprehensive OR quality management when combined with evidence-based maintenance protocols, staff training, and workflow redesign. Given the single-center pre-post design and concurrent implementation components, the findings should be interpreted as improvements observed during an integrated quality-management intervention rather than as the isolated causal effect of AI alone. Controlled multicenter studies are needed to quantify the independent contribution, transferability, and long-term sustainability of the AI components.
