Burden of Pressure Injuries: Findings From the Global Burden of Disease Study.

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
Background: Pressure injuries remain among the most common problems faced by plastic surgeons and comprise a large portion of wound clinic practice. However, little is known about the overall morbidity related to the disease. This research sought to identify the burden related to the diagnosis of pressure injuries. Methods: We used the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 to extract information about incidence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) related to pressure injuries from 1990 to 2017. Descriptive statistics were used to identify changes in the outcomes of interest. Results: A relative though not statistically significantly decrease in the incidence and burden of pressure injuries was observed between 1990 and 2017. Rates of incidence in the US appear higher than other higher socio-demographic index countries. No clinically and statistically significant changes were observed based on age or sex. Conclusions: Pressure injury incidence and burden have remained relatively stable between 1990 and 2017 with no significant improvement noted. There is room for improvement on a national performance level, and further research is needed regarding inconsistencies in regional outcomes.
