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

Background: The prevalence of pressure injuries (PI) among hospitalized adults worldwide remains high, posing a serious challenge to global healthcare systems. In China, the scarcity of specialized wound care nurses often leads to the suboptimal management of stage 2 PI by general nursing staff. Therefore, enhancing the wound management capabilities of these non-specialist nurses is crucial for improving healing rates and patient outcomes. This study aimed to systematically summarize the best evidence for stage 2 PI wound management and develop a standardized, evidence-based practice protocol for clinical nurses. Method: We employed an evidence-based continuous quality improvement model, which comprised four phases: evidence gathering, baseline review, evidence introduction, and effectiveness evaluation. The study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in China, involving 80 skin liaison nurses and 70 patients with stage 2 PI. Results: Following the implementation of the evidence-based strategy, nurses' PI knowledge scores (PZ-PUKT) significantly increased from 53.31 ± 4.75 to 56.29 ± 4.72 ( Discussion: Research findings indicate that structured, evidence-based nursing strategies significantly enhance nurses' understanding and implementation of best practices, thereby accelerating wound healing and alleviating patient pain. This study provides a feasible model for implementing standardized stage 2 PI care in resource-limited healthcare settings and lays the groundwork for future multicenter research on intelligent nursing interventions.
