Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in a Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.
Article in Pediatric quality & safety. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPressure ulcer (PU) is an injury to skin or underlying tissue as a result of pressure or pressure with shear stress. We classify PUs by the level of tissue injury: stage I-IV, unstageable, suspected deep tissue injury. This quality project was aimed to reduce the incidence of PUs
methodsWe reviewed PUs
resultsBetween 2010 and 2014, PUs decreased from 15.7 events per 1,000 patient days to a new baseline of 2.9 events per 1,000 patient days. We have sustained this rate for 3 years. PUs related to immobility decreased from 35 in 2010-2011 to 4 in 2016-2017. PU related to medical devices decreased from 34 in 2010-2011 to 15 in 2016-2017.
conclusionsInstitution of PU bundle, multidisciplinary weekly skin rounds, and huddles for PUs
