Prophylactic dressings for preventing nasal pressure ulcer in premature newborns: an effectiveness review.
Synthesis in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic dressings for preventing nasal pressure ulcer in newborns using respiratory medical devices.
methodSystematic review of effectiveness, according to the JBI methodology. Studies involving newborns using respiratory medical devices who received prophylactic dressing intervention were included. Descriptive synthesis and network meta-analysis were performed. Registration PROSPERO CRD42024516296.
resultsTwelve studies were included, with a total of 1,001 newborns. The use of 1.8 mm silicone reduces the risk of nasal pressure ulcer, compared to paraffin oil (RR 0.13; 95% CI = 0.02, 0.89), nasal plug (RR 0.13; 95% CI = 0.03, 0.53), and not intervening (RR 0.29; 95% CI = 0.09, 0.85), as well as the use of hydrocolloid reduces the risk of injury when compared to the plug (RR 0.28; 95% CI = 0.14, 0.56) and not intervening (RR 0.60; 95% CI = 0.38, 0.93).
conclusionProphylactic dressings, especially 1.8 mm silicone gel and hydrocolloid, are effective in preventing nasal pressure ulcers in premature newborns using respiratory devices.
