Incidents related to the duration of medical devices in Intensive Care: a cross-sectional study.
Observational study in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 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
objectivesto describe the occurrence of clinical incidents related to the length of stay of invasive devices in intensive care units.
methodsthis was an observational, cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study involving critically ill patients aged ≥ 18 years who used invasive devices between May 2022 and May 2023. Data were extracted from the Epimed Monitor System® software and analyzed using the R statistical program, version 4.3.1.
resultsa total of 1,766 medical records were analyzed, corresponding to 5,436 devices. Sixty-one incidents involving invasive devices were identified. Mechanical ventilation devices had the highest average duration of use (13.65 days). Healthcare-associated infections related to invasive devices were the most frequent incidents (45.9%).
conclusionsincidents involving invasive devices in intensive care are associated with the presence of the device. It is recommended to implement strategies to reduce the duration of device exposure and, consequently, the associated incidents.
