The preventive effect of seamless nursing care on pressure ulcer and related complications in elderly inpatients.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo study the preventive effect of seamless nursing care on pressure ulcer and related complications in elderly inpatients.
methodsThis study was performed in 132 elderly patients aged over 65 years. According to the random number table, these patients were allocated to the control group (n=66) and the experimental group (n=66). Patients in the control group received routine care, while those in the experimental group received both routine care and seamless nursing care. The number and grade of pressure ulcer during hospitalization, average length of stay, satisfaction in care, and incidence of complications during hospitalization were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe incidence of pressure ulcer in the experimental group, which consisted of grade 1 pressure ulcer (2 cases) was significantly lower than that in the control group (P=0.001), which consisted of grade 1 pressure ulcer (9 cases) and grade 2 pressure ulcer (5 cases). The incidence of complications (wound infection and muscle aches) in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the average length of stay in the experimental group was decreased (P<0.001). Satisfaction with care in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01).
conclusionSeamless nursing care contributes to the reduced number of pressure ulcer, reduced incidence of related complications, and improved satisfaction with care.
