Patient Referral and Pressure Injuries: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsTo analyse and discuss the basic conditions and related factors of transported patients' PIs and attract the attention of healthcare providers to PIs.
designSystematic review. DATA SOURCES: Databases including CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Database, CBM, PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO and Cochrane Library were used, and manual searches of reference lists were also performed. The search timeframe was from the inception of the databases up to December 2023.
methodsAccording to the PRISMA, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. Data were combined using meta-analysis, and relevant factors were explored through descriptive analysis.
resultsA total of eight articles were included, comprising 3512 participants. The prevalence of PIs among transported patients ranged from 5.2% to 7.92%, with an incidence rate of 9.4%. PIs were mainly classified as Stage 1 and Stage 2. Common sites included the sacrum, buttocks and heels. Risk factors included the duration and frequency of the transfer, equipment environment, age and BMI and patient source.
conclusionPatients during transport represent a special population at risk of developing PIs; healthcare providers and managers should increase their focus on PIs management for transported patients while ensuring the patients' life conditions. IMPACT: Current evidence indicates that transferred patients are at risk of developing PIs. High-quality studies are needed to validate these results to support healthcare providers in implementing precise and effective management. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution because of the review.
