Nutritional and biochemical insights into multiple pressure ulcer management: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report presents a unique study focused on relationship between nutritional parameters, C-reactive protein (CRP), and the marker of oxidative stress 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), in 61-year-old male paraplegic patient with multiple pressure ulcers. A multidisciplinary approach was essential for the timing of the successful reconstruction process. The patient had a history of paraplegia since 1999 due to a skiing accident with fractures of thoracic vertebrae (Th6-Th9), requiring spinal surgery. His medical background includes acute pancreatitis with biliary tract revisions, partial pancreatic resection, acute respiratory failure with tracheostomy, renal failure treated with hemodialysis, bronchopneumonia, pseudomembranous colitis, and hyperuricemia. The patient also underwent multiple surgical interventions, including treatment for ulnar nerve paresis, cholecystectomy, and multiple pressure ulcer reconstructions. The study describes the relationship between selected biochemical parameters and overall clinical status in a paraplegic patient with three deep pressure ulcers located in the left-sided ischial, trochanteric, and sacral regions during their multistage surgical therapy. The reconstructive procedure and collection of biological samples for determination of selected biochemical parameters were performed according to the same schedule: debridement of pressure ulcers at the beginning of the particular hospitalization and on the day of surgical reconstruction. The patient's severe condition was accompanied by decreased levels of both 8-OHdG and selected nutritional parameters (albumin, prealbumin, and total protein) and increased CRP levels at the beginning of the treatment process. The evaluation of the dynamics of the measured parameters during the gradual improvement of the patient's condition and the multistage reconstruction of pressure ulcers in six hospitalizations over a period of 17 months was continued resulting in the healing of all pressure ulcers. This case highlights the crucial importance of investigating selected biochemical parameters, with emphasis on 8-OHdG, and nutritional parameters, for the timing of surgical strategy and comprehensive therapy in patients with multiple pressure ulcers and severe, complex medical histories.
