Continuous pressure monitoring of inpatient spinal cord injured patients: implications for pressure ulcer development.
Observational study in Spinal cord, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
STUDY
designCohort observational study.
objectivesTo examine the movement profiles of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) during their inpatient rehabilitative phase using continuous pressure monitoring (CPM), evaluating the trends in those with skin damage.
settingSCI specialist rehabilitation centre in the United Kingdom.
methodsIndividuals with SCI (n = 12) were assessed using CPM in the bed and chair over a 24-72 h. Pressure data was used as a surrogate for movement using both nursing interpretation and an intelligent algorithm. Clinical features were obtained including participants age, injury level, ASIA score, co-morbidities and prescribed support surfaces. Trends between movement profiles (frequency and intervals), SCI demographics and observed skin damage were assessed using cross-tabulation and histograms.
resultsThe data revealed significant correlations (p < 0.05) between the nursing observation and algorithm for predicting movement, although the algorithm was more sensitive. Individuals with high level injuries (C1-T6) were observed to have a lower frequency of movement and larger intervals between movements when compared to low level injuries (T7-L5) during both lying and sitting periods. The individuals observed to have skin damage were predominantly those who had both a low frequency of movement and extended gaps between movements.
conclusionsMovements for pressure relief in both the bed and chair environments were dependent on the level of injury in individuals with SCI during their inpatient rehabilitation. Distinct movement patterns corresponded with those who acquired skin damage, revealing the potential clinical applications for technologies to monitor PU risk and inform personalised care.
