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

objectivesTo investigate the efficacy of distraction by flippits/distraction cards in relieving pain associated with pediatric venipuncture process in young children.

methodsThis study was a prospective, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial. The sample consisted of 210 children aged 4 to 6 y undergoing phlebotomy in the sampling room of the Advanced Pediatric Center outpatient department and were randomly assigned to control and intervention groups. Latter were exposed to distraction using flippits/distraction cards during the procedure. Pain was assessed for both groups by using FLACC (Face Legs Activity Cry Consolability) behavior pain assessment scale. In addition, procedural pain was also assessed by Wong Bakers Faces Pain Scale (WBFPS) using children and parents' report.

resultsFlippits (distraction cards) had a significant effect on behavioral response to pain in children during blood sampling as evidenced by lower mean pain scores in the intervention group (2.75 ± 0.97) as compared to the control group (3.24 ± 0.85) as per FLACC behavioral pain assessment scale (p < 0.001). Parents and self reported pain as per Wong Baker Faces Pain Scale was also lower in the intervention group as compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Odds of severe pain/discomfort (total pain score 7-10) were 2.5 times higher in controls as compared to the intervention group (OR 2.5; 95% CI: 1.40-4.45) (P 0.002).

conclusionsThe use of simple distraction technique using flippits can significantly relieve the pain associated with blood sampling in children.
