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: Older adults admitted for acute conditions with pre-existing pressure injuries (PIs) often experience poor prognoses and are frequently affected by multimorbidity and polypharmacy. Medication burden and complex treatment regimens may further impede recovery. However, pharmacist-led comprehensive medication management integrated with stratified nursing care for PI management in emergency wards remains insufficiently investigated. Methods: This retrospective before-after cohort study was conducted in a tertiary hospital. Older patients with pre-existing PIs at admission were allocated to a pre-implementation cohort (2024, Results: Compared with the reference group, patients with PIs exhibited higher CCI, DBI, and MRCI scores and poorer clinical outcomes. Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. Following implementation, the proportion of medication costs and daily MRCI scores decreased significantly (both Conclusions: A pharmacist-involved, multidisciplinary stratified care model effectively reduced medication burden and regimen complexity while improving wound healing and functional outcomes in older emergency patients with PIs, providing a feasible and pragmatic strategy for optimizing PI management.
