1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: We aimed to measure the effect of implementing a pressure ulcer (PU) educational program on the knowledge and confidence of caregivers taking care of bedridden patients or patients with limited mobility. Methods: This study included caregivers of immobile or bedridden patients in our center from 23 April 2023 to 13 May 2023. A pre-assessment questionnaire to assess knowledge about PUs was provided. After this, an educational session was implemented. Thereafter, a post-assessment questionnaire was provided to measure the education outcomes. Results: A total of 98 caregivers were included in the study; the majority were females ( Conclusion: Overall, we found that education sessions on PUs using different visual and audio aids could significantly increase caregivers' knowledge of PU prevention. Innovation: We adopted a multi-faceted approach by developing original educational materials tailored to non-professional caregivers, including videos, booklets, and brochures in Arabic and English. This helped ensure accessibility and enhance the potential for widespread applicability in diverse home settings.
