Article in Nursing open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05564975 (Construction and Application of Pressure Injury Risk Prediction Model for Critically Ill Patients Based on Machine Learning Algorithm), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

aimTo investigate the specific risk factors associated with the development of hospital-acquired pressure injuries in critically ill patients.

designA retrospective case-control study.

methodsUsing evidence-based and Delphi methods, 36 potential risk factors for HAPI in critically ill patients were identified. Data were collected from non-COVID patients admitted to the ICU of Huzhou from January 2019 to December 2021. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify significant risk factors.

resultsA total of 197 patients were included, with 53 (26.9%) developing HAPI. Univariate analysis indicated significant differences across 25 variables, including patient-specific factors, tissue tolerance and correlation scores. Multivariate analysis identified co-morbidities (OR = 3.16), a MEWS score ≥ 5 (OR = 5.83), use of sedative drugs (OR = 2.28), low Braden nutritional score (OR = 4.05), skin oedema (OR = 4.60) and faecal incontinence (OR = 13.17) as independent risk factors for HAPI in critically ill patients. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: To mitigate HAPI risks, nursing staff should prioritise monitoring high-risk patients, perform comprehensive risk assessments and implement timely, targeted interventions to enhance patient care and reduce adverse events.
