A Case of a Pressure Injury Where Electrical Stimulation Led to Team Cohesion and Enhanced Healing.
Article in Cureus, 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
Pressure injuries are grave sequelae of prolonged immobility, with each episode incurring an estimated US $30,000-70,000 in direct medical costs and often necessitating protracted management. Beyond the economic burden, these ulcers disrupt the skin's barrier, heightening infection risk and predisposing patients to sepsis. Although electrical stimulation (ES) is endorsed by clinical guidelines, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, rehabilitation professionals remain under-represented in pressure-injury care. We report the case of a woman in her 50s with quadriplegia who developed a stage IV pressure injury that failed to improve with standard wound care. Following a physical therapist's recommendation, ES was initiated, which not only accelerated wound closure but also fostered interprofessional collaboration. Stage III/IV ulcers typically require approximately 150-240 days to heal; in contrast, this lesion closed in just 90 days
