The Preventative Effect of Hydrocolloid Dressings on Nasal Bridge Pressure Ulceration in Acute Non-Invasive Ventilation.

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
backgroundNon-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a valuable treatment in the management of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure. NIV is not without risks. One such adverse effect is the development of pressure ulcers over the nasal bridge which have an incidence of up to 20% of patients requiring NIV in this setting. The role of medical devices in the development of hospital acquired pressure ulcers has been increasingly recognised with 10-35% of all hospital acquired ulcers attributed to medical devices. Guidelines on acute NIV use suggest good skin care strategies. However, data on the magnitude of the problem of nasal bridge pressure ulceration and the effect of proactive preventative steps remains scant.
methodA quality improvement project was designed to reduce the incidence of nasal bridge pressure ulcers during acute NIV. Hydrocolloid dressings were placed over the nasal bridge in all patients requiring NIV between 30
resultsIn Group 1, there were 161 admissions and 9 grade 2 pressure ulcers from 666 NIV bed-days. In Group 2 there were 134 admissions and 0 pressure ulcers from 718 NIV bed-days. There was a statistically significant reduction in grade 2 pressure ulceration rates (p= 0.0013) in Group 2 compared to Group 1.
conclusionApplication of an early prophylactic pressure-relieving hydrocolloid nasal dressing reduces the risk of developing grade 2 pressure ulcers in patients in patients requiring acute NIV.
