Roles, Barriers and Facilitators of Multidisciplinary Teams Supporting People With Stage 3 and 4 Pressure Injuries in Hospital and Home Settings: A Scoping Review.
Article in International wound journal, 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
This scoping review examined the literature on the roles of healthcare professionals involved in multidisciplinary team (MDT) management of pressure injuries (PIs), as well as the barriers and facilitators influencing team-based care. Pressure injuries represent a significant global disease burden with physical and psychological impacts on individuals, requiring coordinated management from multiple disciplines. Understanding MDT composition, roles, and care delivery is essential to optimise patient outcomes and team performance across the care continuum. Eligible English-language papers on multidisciplinary PI care in hospital and community settings were identified through searching CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, MEDLINE, and Scopus. After duplicates were removed, the remaining articles were independently screened by two reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by consensus. Data from 41 eligible papers were extracted and analysed thematically. MDT roles spanned wound care, rehabilitation, education, nutritional support, and care coordination, with substantial interdisciplinary overlap. Key facilitators included dedicated leadership, regular meetings, shared documentation, and ongoing training, while barriers encompassed unclear role definitions, inconsistent guidelines, poor hospital-to-community integration, and patient complexity. Critical gaps remained in psychosocial support, telehealth, and care for diverse populations. Multidisciplinary teams must be adaptable, holistic, and guided by patient experiences to optimise both healing and long-term prevention.
