A Comparison of the Braden Q and the Braden QD Scale to Assess Pediatric Risk for Pressure Injuries During Noninvasive Ventilation.
Article in Respiratory care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNoninvasive ventilation (NIV) masks are implicated in 59% of respiratory device-related pressure injuries in hospitalized children. Historically, the Braden Q scale was not adequate in identifying risk for pressure injury associated with devices and, therefore, was modified to the Braden QD scale. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the Braden QD scoring tool is better able to identify pediatric patients receiving NIV who are at risk for the development of pressure injury as compared to the previously used Braden Q scale.
methodsThis was a retrospective chart review of all pediatric subjects with NIV mask-related pressure injury. Demographics and Braden Q/Braden QD scores were extracted from the electronic health record at admission, at 48 h prior to pressure injury, at 24 h before injury, and at resolution. The scores were dichotomized into "no risk" or "at risk" score ranges on the basis of each scale's scoring parameters. The McNemar test was used to assess whether Braden Q and Braden QD have the same level of classification.
resultsForty-five unique subjects, ages 1 m - 23 y with NIV mask-related pressure injury were identified (24 [53.3%] female; 21 [46.7%] male). Braden QD had a significant correlation with mask-related pressure injury at admission (
conclusionsNo significant differences were found among groups in relationship to age or gender. 85% of the subjects identified as "at risk" with the Braden QD scale developed pressure injury; conversely, virtually all of the subjects with pressure injury were identified as "no risk" with the Braden Q scale.
