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

ObjectiveTo identify and prioritize personal risk factors for pressure injuries in wheelchair users.DesignA Delphi survey was conducted with clinicians specializing in pressure injury prevention and care.SettingThe study was conducted online using LimeSurvey software.ParticipantsIn the first round, 90 clinicians participated and completed the survey; in the second round, 68 continued their involvement.ResultsAcross all rounds, 39 risk factors were identified by the experts. These factors were weighted according to expert consensus. Immobility, current or past pressure injuries, malnutrition, and sensory perception impairment are ranked among the highest important.ConclusionThese findings underscore the importance of considering both physiological and behavioral factors when assessing pressure injurie risk. The weighted list of expert-validated factors offers clinicians a practical foundation for more targeted and individualized prevention strategies, ultimately supporting improved care and quality of life for this population.
