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 injuries increase morbidity and mortality in geriatric patients by 400%. Residents in long-term care (LTC) are at high risk of developing pressure injuries because of limited mobility, poor nutritional status, impaired cognition, and incontinence. This study aims to determine whether a no-sting barrier film (NSBF) treatment protocol is more effective than current physician practices for treating stage 1 and 2 pressure injuries in LTC. A retrospective cohort study of 129 residents from one LTC facility was performed after a six-month implementation trial of a NSBF treatment protocol. The six-month incidence rate of stage 1 and 2 pressure injuries was 9% and 38% respectively. There was a statistically significant reduction in healing time in those treated with the NSBF protocol. In summary, the NSBF protocol reduces healing time of stage 1 and 2 pressure injuries; this protocol could be easily incorporated into existing pressure injury treatment strategies in LTC.
