Self-management interventions for skin care in people with a spinal cord injury: part 1-a systematic review of intervention content and effectiveness.
Synthesis in Spinal cord, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

objectivesTo review the content and effectiveness of skin care self-management interventions for people with SCI.
settingInternational.
methodsWe searched electronic bibliographic databases, trial registers, and relevant reference lists. Eligibility criteria for the reviews of intervention content and effectiveness were identical with the exception of study design. The review of intervention content included non-randomized and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The review of effectiveness included RCTs. A Behavior Change Technique (BCT) taxonomy of 93 BCTs was used to code intervention content. Intervention effects on outcomes of interest are summarized descriptively. Effect sizes were calculated, and the Cochrane risk of bias tool applied.
resultsIn all, 15 studies testing 17 interventions were included in the review of intervention content. Interventions in these studies included 28 BCTs. The most common were "instructions on how to perform behavior" (16 interventions), "credible source" (12 interventions), and "social support (unspecified)" (9 interventions). Ten RCTs were included in the review of intervention effectiveness and they measured knowledge, self-efficacy, and skills relating to skin care/pressure ulcer (PU) prevention, skin care behaviors, skin status (PU prevalence, severity, and time to PU), and health-care utilization for skin problems. Evidence to support intervention effects on these outcomes was limited, particularly for clinical outcomes. Risk of bias assessments was often inconclusive due to poor reporting.
conclusionsThere is potential to design SCI skin care interventions that include currently untested BCTs. Further research and better consistency in outcome measurements and reporting are required to synthesize evidence on effectiveness.
