Implementation of Clinical Algorithms in Complex Wound Care: A Pilot Study on Feasibility and Professional Acceptance.

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
Purpose: Mobile applications that integrate clinical algorithms have the potential to standardize wound assessment and to support clinical decision-making across assessment, diagnostic support, and therapeutic planning in complex wound care. This pilot study explored the feasibility of implementing such algorithms in a mobile application and examined concordance with nurse assessments and professional acceptance. Methods: A prospective multicenter pilot cohort study was conducted between June and October 2023 in rehabilitation units, outpatient clinics, primary healthcare, homecare, and hospitals. Adults aged ≥ 18 years with pressure injuries/pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, or diabetic foot ulcers were eligible. Nurses recorded data using the Results: A total of 49 patients with 56 wounds (mean age = 79 years) were included. Pressure injuries/pressure ulcers were most prevalent (71.4%), particularly categories 3 (25%) and 4 (23.2%). The algorithm provided diagnoses for 46 wounds, with fair overall concordance with nurse assessments ( Conclusions: Clinical algorithms can be feasibly integrated into mobile applications and are well accepted by nurses across diverse care contexts. These preliminary findings highlight the potential of algorithm-driven tools to support wound assessment and decision-making, while underscoring the need for larger studies with more robust designs to confirm clinical impact.
