Self-managed digital technologies for pressure injury prevention in individuals with spinal cord injury: a systematic scoping review.
Article in Spinal cord, 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
STUDY
designSystematic scoping review.
objectivesPressure injuries (PI) are a serious but mostly preventable complication associated with living with spinal cord injuries (SCI). This review aims to identify and summarize evidence concerning self-managed digital technologies for preventing PI in the SCI population.
methodsA systematic search was performed across seven databases-Embase, Medline, PsycInfo, Web of Science, Scopus, CENTRAL, and CINAHL. To be eligible, studies had to be peer-reviewed and report original findings on self-managed digital technologies for PI prevention in adults (≥18 years) with SCI. Supplementary searches were conducted using Google Scholar, PEDro, and citation tracking to locate relevant studies not identified by the systematic search. Data from the included studies were extracted and synthesized.
resultsThe systematic search identified 9797 unique studies. After screening and excluding 8939 records at the title-and-abstract level, 858 full-text records were assessed, and 12 met the inclusion criteria. The included studies fell into categories: (i) technology-driven feedback systems that provide real-time pressure distribution data and (ii) digital self-management and educational systems aimed at improving adherence to PI-preventive measures. Feedback systems were associated with improved pressure-relieving behaviours, though adherence to reminder-based interventions remained a challenge. Digital self-management tools were shown to enhance knowledge and confidence related to PI prevention.
conclusionsSelf-managed digital technologies increased awareness, confidence, and engagement in pressure relief behaviours among individuals with SCI. However, their direct impact on PI prevention remains inconclusive. Difficulties relating to adherence indicate that such technologies should complement, rather than replace, traditional prevention strategies.
