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
Background and Aims: Pressure injuries incidence is one major issue in the critical care unit. The occurrence and progression of pressure injuries can be decreased with appropriate screening and prevention practices. The primary objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the combination of air pillows and the 30° lateral position in reducing the risk of pressure injuries in bedridden patients in the intensive care room. Methods: A Quasi-experimental pre and posttest with control group design was conducted. The duration of the observation was 4 days. Assessment of pressure injuries risk was conducted using the Braden albumin scale, and position changes were monitored using an observation sheet. Data was subjected to statistical tests using the Generalized Estimating Equations tests, and General Linear Model (GLM) repeated measure test. Results: The Generalized Estimating Equations test showed in the intervention group there was no escalation risk of pressure injuries score during the study. While in the control group the risk of pressure injuries was shown to increase after the fourth day. The results of GLM repeated measure analysis showed a significance value of > 0.05, indicates that there was no significant mean difference between the control group and the intervention group. Conclusion: Combining intervention, air pillows and 30° left-right lateral tilt position may be associated with lower risk of pressure injuries. Pressure injuries risk monitoring should be undertaken daily utilizing the Braden albumin scale instrument. Air room temperature should be maintained moist for patients skin.
