The effects of evidence-based nursing interventions on pressure ulcers in patients with stroke: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International wound journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 7 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
This meta-analysis evaluated the role of evidence-based nursing interventions in preventing pressure ulcers in patients with stroke. Computer systems were used to retrieve randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on evidence-based nursing interventions for patients with stroke and comorbid pressure ulcers from PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and Wanfang Data from database inception until April 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and evaluated the quality of the included studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RevMan 5.4 software was used for the meta-analysis. A total of 23 articles with results on 2035 patients were included, with 1015 patients in the evidence-based nursing group and 1020 patients in the routine nursing group. The meta-analysis results showed that evidence-based nursing interventions significantly reduced the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients with stroke (5.22% vs. 22.84%, odds ratio [OR]: 0.18, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.13-0.24, p < 0.001), delayed the onset of pressure ulcers (standardised mean difference [SMD]: 3.41, 95% CI: 1.40-5.42, p < 0.001) and improved patient quality of life (SMD: 2.95, 95% CI: 2.35-3.56, p < 0.001). Evidence-based nursing interventions are effective at preventing pressure ulcers in patients with stroke, delaying the onset of pressure ulcers and improving their quality of life. Evidence-based nursing should be promoted for patients with stroke. However, owing to differences in sample size between studies and the methodological inadequacies of some studies, these results should be verified by large, high-quality RCTs.
