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

objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of and risk factors for surgery-related pressure injuries (PIs) in bariatric surgery patients and to assess the effect of postoperative mobility on PI development.

methodsThis prospective, correlational, monocentric study included 279 individuals who underwent bariatric surgery. Patients were assessed for PIs every 8 hours during the first 48 hours postoperatively. Mobility status was evaluated via the Observer Mobility scale, and PI risk was measured via the Munro and Braden scales.

resultsThe incidence of surgery-related PIs was 19%, with most patients classified as stage 1, predominantly affecting the knees, coccyx, and abdominal region. Independent risk factors for PI development included abnormal skin (p = 0.015), higher Munro scale scores (p < 0.001), increased postoperative pain (p < 0.001), and reduced mobility (p = 0.006).

conclusionsIn bariatric surgery patients, the use of surgery-specific risk assessment tools, effective pain management, early mobilization, and proper device placement play critical roles in reducing the risk of surgery-related PIs.
