Risk factors for pressure injuries in individuals with spinal cord injuries who have sarcopenic obesity: A comparison of time-dependent changes in sacral region pressure between individuals with and without sarcopenic 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
objectiveTo identify the risk factors for pressure injuries in individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) who have sarcopenic obesity, comparing time-dependent changes in sacral region pressure in individuals with and without sarcopenic obesity.
designAn experimental time series study.
settingSingle-center hospital.
participantsTwenty-five adult participants with subacute and chronic paraplegia who visited our rehabilitation center, Republic of Korea, between May 2021 and June 2022.
interventionsWhole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed to diagnose sarcopenic obesity. After the participants were placed in the supine position for 1 hour, the average pressure (mmHg), peak pressure (mmHg), and total contact area (cm
resultsCompared with the non-sarcopenic obesity group, the sarcopenic obesity group showed significant before-and-after differences in peak pressure. Furthermore, the risk factors that were significantly associated with peak pressure in the sarcopenic obesity group were the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale score and the fat mass index.
conclusionAmong participants with SCIs, the risk of pressure injuries is higher in the sarcopenic obesity group than in the non-sarcopenic obesity group. Notably, the risk of pressure injuries increases in participants who have complete injury and an increased fat mass index, indicating the importance of close monitoring and more active management to prevent pressure injuries in this subpopulation.
