Pressure on bony prominences in the dorsal, lateral, and ventral decubitus: a clinical trial.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 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
objectiveTo identify pressure on bony prominences in the supine, lateral, and prone positions.
methodPhase I, experimental, non-randomized clinical study comparing interface pressures on bony prominences in three positions (dorsal, lateral, and ventral) in healthy individuals. Pressure was measured with the SR Soft Vision® sensor in all participants, positioned in the three decubitus positions and on 10 C-CORE® mattresses. Comparison of total pressure per decubitus position was performed by ANOVA.
results448 assessments were performed in each decubitus position. The mean pressure was 652.3 (95% CI: 592.9-711.7) in the dorsal decubitus, 1.522.2 (95% CI: 1.423.0-1.621.4) in the lateral decubitus, and 313.2 (95% CI: 275.2-351.3) in the ventral decubitus. When stratified by sex (p < 0.001), in females, the mean pressure was 540.08 in the dorsal position, 1.200.9 in the lateral position, and 169.2 in the ventral position. In males, it was 761.3 in the dorsal position, 1.842.0 in the lateral position, and 455.3 in the ventral position. Stratification by weight also showed significant differences (p < 0.001) between decubitus positions.
conclusionThis study demonstrated significant variation in interface pressures between dorsal, lateral, and ventral decubitus positions. Registration in ReBEC: RBR-9vsvkn5.
