Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury Reduction: A Nurse-Led Quality Improvement Initiative in Qatar.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) pose a considerable challenge for healthcare systems, not only for their impact on patient well-being but also for the significant financial burden imposed on healthcare facilities. Between 2020 and 2021, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) reported an average of 60±5 monthly HAPI incidents, with medical devices contributing to approximately 50% of these cases. This project aimed to reduce the incidence of pressure injuries across hospital units. A quality improvement (QI) project using the Comprehensive Unit-Based Safety Program (CUSP) model was implemented to reduce HAPI incidence by 50% by September 2022. The interventions included staff training, electronic documentation review, spot audits on SSKIN (surface, skin inspection, keep moving, incontinence, and nutrition) care bundle compliance policy updates, and enhanced utilization of pressure-relieving devices. The project resulted in a 64.4% reduction in HAPI incidence, with a 66% decrease specifically in medical device-related pressure injuries. The nurse-led, evidence-based interventions significantly reduced HAPI rates across HMC facilities, demonstrating the effectiveness of targeted quality improvement efforts and offering a model that other healthcare institutions can adapt.
