Pressure ulcers in the hospitalized neonate: rates and risk factors.
Article in Scientific reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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
Pressure ulcers (PU) are serious, reportable events causing pain, infection and prolonged hospitalization, particularly among critically ill patients. The literature on PUs in neonates is limited. The objective was to determine the etiology, severity and influence of gestational age on PUs among hospitalized infants. A two-year prospective study was conducted among 741 neonatal intensive care patients over 31,643 patient-days. Risk factors were determined by comparing the characteristics of infants who developed PUs with those who did not. There were 1.5 PUs per 1000 patient days with 1.0 PU per 1000 days in premature infants and 2.7 per 1000 days in term infants. The number of PUs associated with devices was nearly 80% overall and over 90% in premature infants. Infants with PUs had longer hospitalizations and weighed more than those who did not. Infants with device-related PUs were younger, of lower gestational age and developed the PU earlier than patients with PUs due to conventional pressure. The time to PU development was longer in prematurely born versus term infants. Hospitalized neonates are susceptible to device-related injury and the rate of stage II injury is high. Strategies for early detection and mitigation of device-related injury are essential to prevent PUs.
