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
backgroundThe application of non-pharmacologic therapy (NPT) within pain therapy increases patient satisfaction and is, in addition to pharmacologic methods, recommended in the National Expert Standard on Pain Management in Nursing of the German Network of Quality Development in Nursing. If and to what extent non-pharmacologic methods are applied within pain therapy in German hospitals has as yet been unknown. MATERIALS AND
methodsWithin the project "Pain-Free Hospital" 2,840 nurses in 25 hospitals were interviewed via questionnaire forms and oral interviews about the use of NPT.
resultsOf the nurses 80% confirmed the use of NPT. The majority of the interviewed nurses applied superficial cold, bedding and heat for pain relief. We identified barriers to the implementation of NPT, such as the scarce knowledge of nurses about these therapeutic areas and the uncertainty whether NPT needs to be described by doctors or not.
conclusionSome of the NPTs are well established in hospitals. For nationwide use of NPT their systematic training and implementation is necessary.
