Effects of nursing interventions for pressure injury prevention using real-time pressure mapping: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. 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
backgroundDespite preventive nursing efforts, pressure injuries remain a significant clinical challenge, with a high incidence. The adoption of advanced technologies is therefore essential for more effective prevention.
aimsTo evaluate the effectiveness of real-time pressure mapping-based nursing interventions in preventing pressure injuries and improving caregiver outcomes.
methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted in which the intervention group received seven days of nursing care using real-time pressure mapping, allowing for safe, minimal repositioning based on real-time visual pressure distribution data and a nursing protocol. The control group received standard care. Skin condition was assessed three times daily, and caregiver burden and satisfaction were evaluated before and after the intervention.
resultsSixty-eight participants completed the study. The intervention group demonstrated significantly lower pressure injury incidence and caregiver burden than the control group.
conclusionsThe findings support the use of real-time pressure mapping as an effective tool for preventing pressure injuries and suggest its broader applicability in intervention programs.
trial registrationThe study was registered in CRIS (KCT0009366; registration date: 23 April 2024; retrospectively registered).
