Characteristics of United States nursing homes with high percentages of stage 2-4 pressure injuries among high-risk nursing home residents with obesity.

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
Obesity rates in nursing homes (NHs) are increasing. Residents with obesity are at risk for poor outcomes such as pressure injuries (PIs) due to special care needs such as bariatric medical equipment and special protocols for skin care. PIs among resident populations is a sign of poor quality NH care. The purpose of this retrospective observational study was to identify characteristics of NHs with high rates of stage 2-4 PIs among their high-risk residents with obesity. Resident assessment data were aggregated to the NH level. NH structure and process of care and antecedent conditions of the residents and environment measures were used in bivariate comparisons and multivariate logistic regression models to identify associations with NHs having high rates of stage 2-4 PIs among high-risk residents with obesity. We identified three characteristics for which the effect on the odds was at least 10% for clinical significance - for-profit status, large facilities, and the hours of certified nursing assistants (CNAs) per patient day (HRPPD). This study identified several NH characteristics that are associated with higher risk for PIs, which can be targeted with evidence-based interventions to reduce the risk of these adverse safety events occurring.
