Risk factors for newly acquired pressure ulcer and the impact of nurse staffing on pressure ulcer incidence.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
aimTo analyse patient factors and nurse staffing-related issues involving hospital-acquired pressure ulcers in patients at two types of hospital.
backgroundHospital-acquired pressure ulcers are important for the safety of hospitalized patients. Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers not only cause health problems, but also pose an economic burden to patients. In addition to patient factors such as mobility and skin integrity, hospital factors such as nurse staffing can also affect the management of such patients.
methodsThis study is a retrospective review of patient data and analysis of factors related to hospital-acquired pressure ulcers using stratified Cox proportional hazards regression.
resultsA total of 53,923 patients were included. The incidence of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers was 0.98 per 1,000 days. Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers were affected by gender, age, previous falls, low oxygen levels, positioning and toilet use. When the levels of nurse staffing were determined as one of the hospital factors, the daily hours of patient care was increased thereby contributing to the reduced incidents of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers.
conclusionStrategies for preventing hospital-acquired pressure ulcers should be based on the analysis of risk factors. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Most individual risk factors for hospital-acquired pressure ulcers identified cannot be modified easily in a short time. Nurse staffing should be set at adequate levels to prevent hospital-acquired pressure ulcers.
