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

objectivesto assess the risk of developing injuries resulting from surgical positioning in adult patients undergoing elective surgery and to identify the incidence of neurological complications and skin lesions in the perioperative period.

methodsan observational, longitudinal, prospective, and quantitative study conducted in a medium-sized hospital in the countryside of São Paulo, Brazil.

resultsthe study sample was predominantly female (57%), with a median age of 55 years. Of these, 72.8% had pre-existing conditions, with overweight (41.8%) or obesity (34.8%). The Risk Assessment Scale for the Development of Injuries Resulting from Surgical Positioning score was low risk (75.9%), with an incidence of 6.4% of peripheral neuropathy and 0.8% of pressure injury (stage 1/sacral region).

conclusionsusing risk assessment scales for the development of injuries helps to systematize nursing care. Studies on the incidence of injuries (skin and peripheral neuropathy) are essential for situational diagnosis and subsequent creation of strategies to reduce risks.
