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

Objective: This study aimed to examine the implementation processes and system-level outcomes associated with the national adoption of the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) pressure injury prevention Best Practice Guideline across high-complexity public hospitals in Chile, from a Best Practice Spotlight Organization® (BPSO®) Host Model perspective. Methods: This study universe included all institutions incorporated into the national BPSO Host Ministry of Health (MINSAL) program between 2018 and 2022 ( Results: Eighteen high-complexity public hospitals submitted complete datasets, of which eleven reported indicators specific to the Pressure Injury Prevention guideline. Improvements were observed across all process indicators, including risk assessment at admission (+2.3 %), risk reassessment (+7.9 %), and use of pressure-redistributing support surfaces (+4.6 %). Although 30.75 % of patients were classified as moderate or high risk, pressure injury incidence remained stable at 1.2 %-1.3 %, well below global pooled estimates. Pioneer hospitals demonstrated consistently higher adherence to preventive processes and lower pressure injury incidence compared with later adopters. Qualitative findings identified leadership, stakeholder engagement, governance structures, and standardized monitoring as key enablers of implementation, while challenges persisted in sustaining bedside practice change and patient engagement. Conclusions: A Host-led national implementation strategy can strengthen adherence to evidence-informed pressure injury prevention practices, reduce system-level variability, and sustain low incidence across a public hospital network. The Chilean BPSO® Host model illustrates how coordinated governance, standardized indicators, and structured implementation support can scale evidence-based practice in middle-income health systems.
