1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

aimTo evaluate a new fixation band for tracheal catheter in intensive care unit.

designA cross-sectional study.

methodsA total of 90 patients admitted to the ICU between August 2018-February 2019 were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group (N = 45/per each group). 3 M strong adhesive tape and a new tracheal catheter fixation band were applied to patients in two groups, respectively. The fixation effect, incidence of mucosal pressure injury and nursing cost were evaluated.

resultsForty-three patients from the experimental group and 42 patients from the control group participated in this study. Mild, moderate and severe catheter dislocation happened in 2, 0, 0 cases in the experimental group, and 6, 3 and 2 cases in the control group, respectively; the difference was statistically significant. The rates of mucosal pressure injury were 4.7% and 21.4%, which was significantly different, and the experiment group had a lower average daily nursing cost related to tracheal intubation.

conclusionsThe new tracheal catheter fixation band, which allows for accurate fixation, is simple to operate, may reduce the incidence of mucosal pressure injury, decrease the nursing cost and improve the patients' comfort in clinical practice.
