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

This study investigated alterations in the skin microclimate of the sacrococcygeal compression area in patients with malignant head and neck tumours before and after surgery. Additionally, it evaluated the effect of preventive dressings on the skin microclimate in this area and their association with intraoperative acquired pressure injuries (IAPIs), aiming to provide a foundation for preventing and reducing these injuries. Thirty patients were randomly assigned into control and two intervention groups. The sacrococcygeal skin of the control group was not protected by preventive dressing. Intervention group A was protected by silicone foam dressing, and intervention group B received a combination of liquid dressing and silicone foam dressing. Sacrococcygeal skin temperature, skin moisture levels and sebum were measured at admission, before and after surgery, and post-operative skin and pain were evaluated. There were no significant differences in skin temperature, moisture levels or sebum between the three groups before and after the intervention. The incidence of IAPI was significantly different (χ
