Severe pressure injury secondary to internet gaming addiction: a rare diagnosis in a neurologically intact patient.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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 preventable ischaemic injures that occur in regions of sustained pressure or shearing force, leading to localized tissue hypoxia and necrosis. These injuries do not occur commonly in people with intact neurological function including normal sensation and mobility. This report documents a case of stage 4 pressure injuries in a neurologically intact young man, secondary to Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD). This addiction to gaming is associated with many of the pre-disposing factors for pressure injury development, including immobility and poor tissue health secondary to nutritional deficiencies. This case details a multi-disciplinary team approach with substantial psychiatric input. IGD is a key area of future research within mental health literature, and this report documents one of many sequelae of this addiction.
