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 explore the prevalence and risk factors for medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) caused by protective dressings among medical staff members during the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) in China. MATERIALS AND

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was released through the Questionnaire Star website and was completed online. The prevalence of MARSI was calculated and risk factors were analyzed using a multiple regression model.

resultsA total of 414 front-line medical staff members treating COVID-19 patients were enrolled from 46 hospitals across four provinces and two municipalities. Overall, 83.1% used protective medical adhesive dressings applied to the head and face to prevent skin damage from personal protective equipment. The prevalence of MARSI caused by adhesive dressings was 41.9%. By multiple regression analysis, the type of dressing, duration of dressing usage, and pain score were risk factors for MARSI development.

conclusionsThe high prevalence indicates MARSI is common among front-line medical staff members, especially those using hydrocolloid dressings and longer durations of dressing usage. Pain upon dressing removal can be severe and increased the risk of MARSI. We call for paying more attention to MARSI and recommend multisite studies with larger sample sizes to enhance the generalizability of these findings.
