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

backgroundPressure injuries are a significant concern in healthcare settings, leading to increased morbidity, healthcare costs, and patient suffering. This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of multifaceted interventions on the prevention of Pressure injuries and improvements in nursing practices.

methodsA systematic search was conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines across multiple databases, including studies from Google Scholar (332), Science Direct (14), grey literature sources (45), PubMed (0), Cochrane Library (437), and Hinari (322). Studies included in the review examined the effectiveness of various interventions, including educational programs, care bundles, and positioning strategies, on Pressure injury prevention.

resultsThe interventions significantly reduced Pressure injury prevalence from 60.9 to 28.7%, with hospital-acquired injuries decreasing from 52.9 to 21.3%. The mean national prevalence of Pressure injuries was 17.6%, with 58.1% being community-acquired. Educational programs greatly enhanced nurses' knowledge and practices, particularly regarding the Braden scale and wound care protocols. Key risk factors identified were patient age, sex, and chronic diseases. Effective strategies included the use of air cushions and specific positioning techniques. Care bundles were found to prevent pressure ulcers in 90% of patients in the study group, and medical device-related Pressure Injuries were reduced to 5.01%.

conclusionMultifaceted interventions, including education, care bundles, and positioning strategies, are highly effective in reducing the prevalence of Pressure Injuries and improving nursing practices. Implementing comprehensive prevention strategies is essential for mitigating Pressure Injury risks in healthcare settings.
