Incidence and risk factors of oral mucosal pressure injury in patients with oral tracheal intubation: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: To systematically review the incidence and risk factors of oral mucosal pressure injury in patients with oral tracheal intubation. Methods: Two researchers independently searched eight databases, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Database, VIP Database and China BioMedical Literature Database (CBM) from inception to February 27th, 2026. Data analyses were performed using Stata 18.0 software. Result: Twenty-four studies (9,904 patients) were included in the meta-analysis. The incidence of oral mucosal pressure injury in patients undergoing oral tracheal intubation was 29%. Risk factors include higher APACHE II score[OR 1.32, 95%CI:1.19-1.50], diabetes [OR 5.31, 95%CI: 1.88-14.87], serum albumin [OR0.37,95%CI:0.2-0.68], use of anticoagulants [OR 1.68, 95%CI: 1.02-2.77], use of sedative drugs [OR 3.35, 95%CI: 2.16-5.21], use of vasoactive drugs [OR 1.55, 95%CI: 1.25-1.92], prone position ventilation [OR 3.94, 95%CI: 2.64-5.93], prolonged tracheal intubation indwelling time [OR 1.08, 95%CI: 1.05-1.12], use of hard dental pads [OR 3.22, 95%CI: 2.25-4.66], tracheal intubation model [OR 2.72, 95%CI: 1.62-4.62]. Conclusion: The incidence of oral mucosal pressure injury is relatively high in patients with oral tracheal intubation, and there are many risk factors. Nursing staff should enhance their awareness of oral mucosal pressure injury in patients with oral tracheal intubation. They should accurately identify high-risk groups at an early stage based on risk factors and formulate targeted and personalized preventive measures to reduce the risk of injury.
