Nursing Program Applying Lithospermum Oil for Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis Care Among Older Patients in Intensive Care Units: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Clinical interventions in aging, 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
Background: Incontinence-associated dermatitis affects patients admitted to the intensive care unit, especially older adults, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Therefore, nursing activities to prevent and care for incontinence-associated dermatitis are important and necessary for healthcare staff and caregivers. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of a nursing prevention and care program involving the application of Lithospermum Oil on the risk, severity, and incidence rate of incontinence-associated dermatitis among older adult intensive care unit patients. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted from July 2023 to October 2023. Sixty-eight samples were recruited by systematic random sampling and equally divided into two groups by simple random sampling. The experimental group received a nursing prevention and care program that involved applying Lithospermum Oil for five days; however, a control group received routine care. Results: After attending the program, the risk level of IAD in the experimental group was no different from that before the application or from the control group. However, after the experiment, the incidence of IAD in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group. Finally, the severity of IAD in the experimental group before the experiment did not significantly differ from that after the experiment or from the control group. Conclusion: This study's findings indicate that the intervention effectively reduces the incidence of IAD but does not significantly impact its risk or severity. Nursing prevention and care programs and Lithospermum Oil should be integrated into routine clinical practice to enhance patient care and minimize skin-related complications.
