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.

Abstract

backgroundBruising is an unpleasant result of subcutaneous injection of Enoxaparin, which causes physical discomfort, limitation of injection site, patient's refusal of treatment, and distrust in nurses' ability. The application of techniques which reduce patients' fear, anxiety, and physical damage is one of the tasks of nurses. This clinical trial investigated the effect of duration of subcutaneous Enoxaparin injection on the bruising size in acute coronary syndrome patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeventy 35-75-year-old acute coronary syndrome patients hospitalized in Coronary Care Units were selected randomly. Each subject received 10- and 30-sec duration of injections by a single researcher on both sides of the abdomen in 12-h intervals. The bruising size was measured using a transparent millimeter measuring paper, 24 and 48 h after each injection. Data were gathered by a data recording form (demographic and measurements data) and analyzed by descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests through SPSS.

resultsResults showed that the mean bruising sizes at 24 h after 10- and 30-sec injection were 33.26 mm(2) (72.77) and 48.96 mm(2) (99.91), respectively, and at 48 h were 15.61 mm(2) (142.02) and 52.48 mm(2) (143), respectively. There was no significant relationship between the two techniques (P > 0.05), although the effect of age on bruising size was significant (P = 0.01).

conclusionAccording to the findings of the present study, length of Enoxaparin subcutaneous injection has no effect on the bruising size.
