Demographics, Psychological Distress, and Pain From Pressure Injury.
Article in Nursing research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThere is a knowledge gap regarding factors that influence the intensity of pain associated with pressure injuries.
objectivesWe examined the influence of age, gender, race, and comorbidity on the relationships between pressure injuries, psychological distress, and pain intensity in hospitalized adults.
methodsThis study was a cross-sectional, retrospective secondary analysis using data from a regional acute hospital's electronic health records from 2013 to 2016. A sample of 454 cases met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using path analysis.
resultsThe hypothesized model (Model A) and two alternative models (Models B and C) were tested and demonstrated adequate model fit. All tested models demonstrated statistically significant independent direct effects of age on the severity of pressure injury (p < .001) and pain intensity (p = .001), as well as independent direct effects of gender (p ≤ .005), race (p < .001), and comorbidity (p = .001) on psychological distress. DISCUSSION: Pain management for individuals with pressure injuries should include not only the treatment of wounds but also the individual characteristics of the patient such as demographics, comorbidity, and psychological status that may affect pain. Given the limitations of secondary analyses, further studies are suggested to validate these findings.
