Patient's care bundle benefits to prevent stroke associated pneumonia: A meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Patient's care bundle has been found to have a beneficial effect on refractory diseases, but the preventive effect of this strategy on stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) remains unclear. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine the role of the patient's care bundle in the prevention of SAP. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in five electronic databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published before January 31, 2022. The incidence of SAP and aspiration and the length of hospital stay were assessed. Random pair-wise meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4, and trial sequential analysis (TSA) was also performed. Results: Twenty eligible RCTs involving 1916 patients were included for data analysis. Pooled results suggested that patient's care bundle was associated with significantly lower incidence of SAP (risk ratio [RR], 0.37; 95% CI, 0.29-0.46; Conclusions: The patient's care bundle effectively prevents the occurrence of SAP and aspiration and shortens the hospital stay of stroke patients. However, it is necessary to design more high-quality studies to further validate our findings and investigate their applicability in other geographical regions.
