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 are serious and common health concern affecting about 1.5-3 million adults and is a serious health concern for elders. Pressure ulcers or bed sores seem to be one of the most challenging inflicts to the doctors and may result in significant morbidity and mortality and are associated with high cost in terms of human sufferings, cost of treatment, and possible litigation. Though modern medical science has launched a variety of treatment methods, prevention is the best way to get rid of it. Pressure sores are best prevented by using support surfaces that are volatile in nature-like water mattress, variable pressure mattress, etc. In this research work, a portable support surface has been designed and developed for preventing bedsore. It consists of four individual components for the body part such as bodice back, hip, elbow, and heel which are likely to be affected by bedsores. Each component has volatile surface provisions in them with refilling and cleaning facility. The portable support surface is easy to wear and remove and also cheaper. Above all, the kit is user-friendly with no side effects and preferred and guaranteed by the doctors.
