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

(1) Background: Patients who are critically ill or undergo major surgery are admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Prolonged immobilization is the most likely cause of pressure injuries (PrIs) in the ICU. Previous studies of Western populations found that effective protocols could reduce the incidence of PrIs, and the efficacy of systemic targeted intervention protocols in preventing PrIs in the Chinese population needs to be surveyed. (2) Methods: We reviewed cases of PrIs in the ICUs of Taipei Veterans General Hospital from 2014 to 2019. The ICU nurses at the hospital began to implement targeted interventions in January 2017. The incidence density of PrIs was calculated by dividing the number of PrIs by person days of hospitalizations in the pre-bundle (2014-2016) and post-bundle (2017-2019) stages. Poisson regression was performed to compare the trend of incidence densities. (3) Results: The incidence density of PrIs was 9.37/1000 person days during the pre-bundle stage and 1.85/1000 person days during the post-bundle stage (
