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

Objective: To develop a clinical nursing decision support system for pressure injury and explore its application in managing pressure injury in postoperative cardiac surgery patients. Methods: A multidisciplinary research team was formed to develop a clinical nursing decision support system. Key indicators, including wound assessment accuracy, wound treatment accuracy, pressure injury healing rate, pressure injury incidence, and defect rates in nursing records, were compared before and after the clinical nursing decision support system utilization. Count data were described using frequency and composition ratio (%), and comparisons were made using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method. Measurement data following a normal distribution were described by mean and standard deviation, while non-normally distributed data were described by median and interquartile range. Independent sample t-tests and rank-sum tests were used for between-group comparisons. A significance level of α = 0.05 was set, with results considered statistically significant if P < 0.05. Results: The clinical nursing decision support system implements an intelligent decision-making engine and interactive dashboard for human-computer interaction, enabling intelligent assessment and decision-making, re-evaluation reminders, interactive modules, intelligent auditing, and a three-level quality control system for pressure injury. After applying the clinical nursing decision support system, the pressure injury incidence in postoperative cardiac surgery patients decreased from 14.8% to 12.8%, with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). The pressure injury healing rate increased from 89.1% to 97.2%, wound assessment accuracy improved from 90.8% to 97.2%, and wound treatment accuracy increased from 88.3% to 96.5%. The defect rate in nursing records decreased from 15.3% to 7.7%, with all differences being statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study successfully developed and implemented a clinical nursing decision support system for pressure injury management in postoperative cardiac surgery patients. These results confirm the system's clinical utility in standardizing pressure injury care, optimizing nursing workflows, and elevating documentation quality. The clinical nursing decision support system provides an effective tool for enabling evidence-based, personalized interventions and strengthening closed-loop quality control in pressure injury management.
