Effect of Nurse-Applied Aloe Vera and Rosemary Oil Combination on Pressure Injury Prevention in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Triple-Blind Randomized Trial.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Objective: Pressure injuries (PIs) are common complications among orthopedic patients. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of aloe vera gel, rosemary oil, and their combination with a control intervention in preventing PIs. Methods: A triple-blind randomized four arm parallel clinical trial was conducted among 160 orthopedic patients assigned to four groups: aloe vera-rosemary combination, rosemary oil, aloe vera gel, or control (n=40 each). The assigned spray was applied twice daily for 10 days to pressure-prone areas. Outcomes included PI incidence, skin temperature, and pain intensity. Results: The aloe vera-rosemary group demonstrated the lowest incidence of sacral, hip, heel, and total PIs compared with the other groups (p = 0.02, 0.03, 0.03, and 0.009, respectively). Significant reductions in pain intensity were also observed across pressure-prone areas over time (all p < 0.001). Additionally, skin temperature decreased significantly in the intervention groups compared with the control group during follow-up (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: The rosemary oil and aloe vera-rosemary oil combination showed positive effectiveness in preventing PIs; it is recommended for use in the prevention of PIs among orthopedic patients.
