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

purposeThe purpose of the study was to determine if the use of continuous temperature monitoring smart socks is feasible in adolescents with spina bifida (SB) by obtaining user feedback on comfort.

methodsParticipants were provided temperature monitoring socks and a 4 G hub. Follow-up phone calls were performed to answer questions or discuss barriers. Sock temperatures were monitored throughout four weeks. Following sock wear, participants were asked to complete a satisfaction survey.

resultsSeventeen of the 33 participants enrolled (eight males, nine females) with a mean age of 14.8 years completed the study. Average sock wear was 8.0 hours per day for four weeks. The mean temperature was 83.4°F with a mean temperature differential between feet of -0.74°F (left-right). The duration of sock wear varied from 14.6 to 595.9 hours over the four-week period. Lastly, eleven participants (84.6%) reported that the socks were comfortable and very easy to put on.

conclusionContinuous temperature monitoring smart socks are an option for monitoring risk for developing pressure injuries in adolescents with SB. Future directions would include increasing sample size, obtaining normative data for temperature ranges in this population, and correlating to clinical outcomes.
