Effectiveness of Nursing Interventions in Preventing Pressure Ulcers among Immobile Stroke Patients.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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: Individuals with physical disabilities are more likely to develop pressure ulcers due to restricted mobility and diminished sensation. Stroke is the most prevalent medical diagnosis associated with pressure injuries. Pressure ulcer (PU) is a common complication associated with strokes. Timely recognition and implementation of preventive measures are essential in preventing the development of pressure ulcers. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of nursing interventions in preventing pressure ulcers among immobile stroke patients. Materials and Methods: A simple random sampling technique was used to recruit 128 patients; 64 patients were assigned to the control group and 64 to the intervention group. Patients were recruited from the neurological ward at Rizgary Teaching Hospital, Erbil City, Kurdistan region of Iraq, and from the intensive care unit (ICU) at the East Emergency Hospital. Data collection tools included the Braden scale, a risk assessment tool for PUs, and a structured questionnaire. The Chi-square test, logistic regression, and an independent sample Results: Heart diseases, diabetes mellitus, smoking, advanced age, and friction and shear were the main risk factors for PUs development among immobile stroke patients. The nursing educational interventional program was highly effective in reducing the incidence of PUs among immobile stroke patients ( Conclusions: Appropriate nursing interventions and patient education can significantly reduce the incidence of PUs as well as prolong the development of PUs among immobile stroke patients.
