A nurse-led bundled care intervention for preventing deep vein thrombosis in immobilized neurosurgical patients: a quasi-experimental study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology. 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: Immobilized neurosurgical patients are at high risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). While routine prophylaxis exists, a systematic, nurse-led bundle of care may offer a more comprehensive and effective approach to prevention. To evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led, multifaceted bundled care intervention on the incidence of DVT, patient compliance, and clinical outcomes in immobilized neurosurgical patients. Methods: This quasi-experimental study with a historical control group was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery, Xichang People's Hospital. Adult neurosurgical patients requiring immobilization for at least 72 h were enrolled. The control group ( Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. The incidence of DVT was significantly lower in the intervention group (1.66% vs. 2.75%, Conclusion: This nurse-led bundled care intervention was associated with a significantly lower DVT incidence and improved clinical outcomes in immobilized neurosurgical patients. The protocol's structured, evidence-based approach provides a practical model for VTE prevention in neurosurgical settings.
